Abstract: An apparatus that includes a substrate and a first plurality of circuit components mounted on the substrate, which is associated with a protected area. The apparatus includes a connector formed on the substrate to at least partially circumscribe the protected area and a second plurality of circuit components mounted on the substrate to at least partially circumscribe the connector to form a security barrier to physically inhibit a penetration attack into the protected area.
Abstract: A technique includes providing a security monitor to at least detect a penetration attack on a circuit assembly that contains the security monitor. The technique includes inhibiting success of the penetration attack, including flexibly mounting the security monitor to the circuit assembly to allow the security monitor to move in response to the security monitor being contacted during the penetration attack.
