Tamper-evident physical devices are common in sensitive computer installations. For example, network cabling can be run down transparent conduits and switches can be located in glass-fronted cabinets, allowing for any unusual device attached to the network tending to stand out in plain view.
Tamperproofing is a methodology used to hinder, deter or detect unauthorised access to a device or circumvention of a security system. Since any device or system can be foiled by a person with sufficient knowledge, equipment, and time, the term "tamperproof" is a misnomer unless some limitations on the tampering party's resources is explicit or assumed.

Security printing is the field of the printing industry that deals with the printing of items such as banknotes, cheques, passports, tamper-evident labels, security tapes, product authentication, stock certificates, postage stamps, and identity cards.
Anti-tamper software is software which makes it harder for an attacker to modify it. The measures involved can be passive such as obfuscation to make reverse engineering difficult or active tamper-detection techniques which aim to make a program malfunction or not operate at all if modified. [ 1 ]
In a nuclear weapon, a tamper is an optional layer of dense material surrounding the fissile material. It is used in nuclear weapon design to reduce the critical mass and to delay the expansion of the reacting material through its inertia , which delays the thermal expansion of the fissioning fuel mass, keeping it supercritical longer.
IEEE 829 – Test Procedure Specification The Test Procedures are developed from both the Test Design and the Test Case Specification . The document describes how the tester will physically run the test, the physical set-up required, and the procedure steps that need to be followed.
A tamper-evident band or security ring serves as a tamper resistant or tamper evident function to a screw cap, lid, or closure. [1] The term tamper-proof is sometimes used but is considered a misnomer given that pilfering is still technically possible. [2] A security band can be integrated with the cap or can be a separate package component.
