Intrusion detection systems for detecting intrusion conditions with respect to electronic component enclosures

Abstract

Intrusion detection systems for detecting intrusion conditions with respect to electronic component enclosures are disclosed herein. An intrusion detection system in accordance with the subject matter disclosed herein may include a conductive component that at least partially surrounds a space. The conductive component may cover at least a portion of an electronic component to be protected. Further, the system may include a first conductive trace positioned to contact the conductive component. A second conductive trace may include a portion positioned in the space at least partially surrounded by the conductive component. The system may also include a detection circuit for determining whether at least one of the first conductive trace and the conductive component are not conductively connected and for determining that the second conductive trace is conductively connected to the first conductive trace. Further, the detection circuit may detect an intrusion condition in response to determining at least one of the first conductive trace and the conductive component are not conductively connected.
