tamper proof

Cannot be manipulated

Tamper proof describes something designed to prevent or reveal unauthorized interference.

A tamper-proof seal shows visible damage if opened; tamper-proof packaging protects products from contamination or tampering before purchase.

The term often overstates reality—most "tamper-proof" designs are merely tamper-resistant or tamper-evident.

The medicine bottle has a tamper-proof cap.
