Patent ID: 8819842

Claim:
A circuit for implementing conductive microcapsule rupture to generate a tamper event for data theft prevention comprising: a security card; a tamper sensor device provided with said security card, said tamper sensor device including a tamper mesh; a polymeric resin containing a plurality of microcapsules surrounding said security card and said tamper sensor device, said microcapsules being more sensitive to pressure than said tamper mesh of said tamper sensor device to rupture first; each said microcapsule contains a conductive material; said conductive material of said microcapsule disperses onto said tamper sensor device between said tamper mesh responsive to at least one said microcapsule being ruptured to create a resistance change of said tamper sensor device, wherein at least one said microcapsule being ruptured to create a resistance change on said tamper sensor device includes a force being applied to said polymer resin and at least one said microcapsule being punctured for releasing said conductive material of said microcapsule onto said tamper sensor device; and said tamper sensor device detecting the resistance change and disabling said security card for data theft prevention.
