ABSTRACT:
An encryption device includes a system processor having a first key for encrypting information. The system processor periodically generates random data strings that are also encrypted using the first key. The encryption device also includes a first output for communicating the encrypted information to an external location and a tamper detection module for receiving on a periodic basis the random data strings generated by the system processor. The tamper detection module includes a second key that is the same as the first key, an encryption engine for encrypting the random data strings using the second key, and a second output for communicating the encrypted data strings to the system processor. The tamper detection module is configured to alter the second key upon detection of a tampering event so that the second key is different from the first key.
