Title

Tamper Resistance and Detection

Control

Implement a tamper protection program for the system, system component, or system service.

Discussion

Anti-tamper technologies, tools, and techniques provide a level of protection for systems, system components, and services against many threats, including reverse engineering, modification, and substitution. Strong identification combined with tamper resistance and/or tamper detection is essential to protecting systems and components during distribution and when in use.
