tamper detection
Unauthorized access discovery
Tamper detection is the ability to identify when something has been interfered with or altered without authorization.
Security seals on medicine bottles provide tamper detection—if the seal is broken, you know someone opened it.
The term applies broadly to physical packaging, digital files, and electronic systems: The software includes tamper detection to alert administrators if configuration files are modified.
