Claim 13:
14. A tangible machine-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
acquire an indication of an electrical parameter associated with a component for detecting a hardware status of a computing device;
determine, using processing circuitry and a conductive element for modifying an electric field distribution to create a signature electric field distribution linked to the processing circuitry, whether or not the indication meets a specified condition with respect to an estimated electrical parameter for the component based on an electric field distribution model for the computing device, where the specified condition is indicative of the hardware status of the computing device being as expected; and
cause a notification to be issued if the indication does not meet the specified condition.
