PE-03(05) Tamper Protection

NIST SP 800-53 (controls) 5.2.0 against 5.2.0
All changes in this version
unchanged PE part of PE-3

Title

Tamper Protection

Control

Employ [Assignment: anti-tamper technologies] to [Selection (one or more): detect; prevent] physical tampering or alteration of [Assignment: hardware components] within the system.

Discussion

Organizations can implement tamper detection and prevention at selected hardware components or implement tamper detection at some components and tamper prevention at other components. Detection and prevention activities can employ many types of anti-tamper technologies, including tamper-detection seals and anti-tamper coatings. Anti-tamper programs help to detect hardware alterations through counterfeiting and other supply chain-related risks.

Parameters

pe-03.05_odp.01: anti-tamper technologies
pe-03.05_odp.02: [detect; prevent]
pe-03.05_odp.03: hardware components
