Additively Manufactured Tamper Evident Container (TEC)

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1739902· OSTI ID:1739902

Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory have developed a tamper evident container (TEC) to secure a broad variety of items from adversarial disclosure and espionage accidents. The new technology uses additive-manufacturing (AM) techniques for the concurrent creation of a container and arbitrarily complex-shaped three-dimensional tamper-sensitive features within its walls that authenticate the package. Analog and encrypted digital boards safely stored inside the TEC permanently record the complete security history of the protected items. Los Alamos is seeking commercial partners interested in further development and engineering prototype work.
