Abstract:
A system for detecting an intrusion in an electronic device. The system includes at least one optical sensor connected to at least one security module of the electronic device. The optical sensor and the security module are configured to detect a variation in light intensity measured by the optical sensor as compared with a reference light intensity associated with at least one pre-determined light source inside the electronic device. The variation in light intensity represents a risk of intrusion into the electronic device.
