Abstract

A tamper-proof enclosure is disclosed. The enclosure utilizes various types of sensors that are capable of detecting chassis intrusion, extreme temperature variations and low battery power. A circuit is formed when the chassis is closed and broken when the chassis is opened. A sensor connected to the circuit detects a broken circuit. Other sensors detect unacceptable high or low temperatures and low battery power. When a sensor detects such a condition, it sends a signal causing a portion of the memory of the device contained within the enclosure to be erased.
