Anti-Tamper Radio Meets Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface for System-Level Tamper Detection

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Many computing systems need to be protected against physical attacks using active tamper detection based on sensors. One technical solution is to employ an Anti-Tamper Radio (ATR) approach, analyzing the radio wave propagation effects within a protected device to detect unauthorized physical alterations. However, ATR systems face key challenges in terms of susceptibility to signal manipulation attacks, limited reliability due to environmental noise, and regulatory constraints from wide bandwidth usage.
