Patent ID: 6917299

Claim:
An apparatus for providing security to an electronic circuit case, comprising: a first circuit board; a second circuit board; a first contact pad and a second contact pad, wherein each of the first contact pad and the second contact pad is provided on the first circuit board and on the second circuit board; a connector configured to provide an electrical connection between the first circuit board and second circuit board when the electronic circuit case is closed and the connector is placed between the first contact pad and the second contact pad so that the first contact pad is in electrical connection with the second contact pad, and configured to interrupt the electrical connection between the first circuit board and second circuit board when the electronic circuit case is opened and the connector is not in contact with the first contact pad and the second contact pad so that the first contact pad is not in electrical connection with the second contact pad; a protective casing interposed between the first and the second circuit boards; a flexible conductive film coupled on the outside of the protective casing, wherein the tamper detection circuit detects whether integrity of the flexible conductive film has been compromised; and a tamper detection circuit configured to trigger a security response, when there is interruption in the electrical connection between the first circuit board and second circuit board.
