8.4.1.4. Disabling tamper detection and response functionality
Tamper detection and response functionality can be disabled if the customer's security
policy does not require it. The tamper detection and response functionality provides a
critical part of the defence in depth physical security strategy of the nShield Connect.
We do not recommend disabling tamper detection functionality.
To disable tamper responsiveness on your nShield Connect:
1. From the main menu select System > System configuration > Tamper config.
You are shown the following dialog:
Tamper responsiveness
is currently enabled.
This matches nCipher's
recommendation.
Do you want to disable
tamper responsiveness?
