  • Publication number: 20180240371
    Abstract: According to a first aspect of the present disclosure, an electronic tamper detection device is provided, comprising a tamper loop, a processing unit and a storage unit, wherein the processing unit is configured to detect that the tamper loop is open and to store, if the tamper loop is open, data indicating that the tamper loop has been opened in said storage unit, wherein the storage unit is a non-volatile memory. According to a second aspect of the present disclosure, a corresponding tamper detection method is conceived. According to a third aspect of the present disclosure, a corresponding computer program is provided.
