A strain sensor unit and a skin sensor module comprising the same are provided. The strain sensor unit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a substrate having a through-hole, and including a first electrode and a second electrode formed at one side and the other side of the through-hole on one surface of the substrate, a piezoelectric device drawn from the first electrode and extending inward the through-hole, and a piezoresistor drawn from the second electrode and extending inward the through-hole, wherein the piezoresistor overlaps with a whole or part of the piezoelectric device.

A tamper detection system includes a detector that measures a value of a parameter for each connection of multiple breakable remakeable connections between first and second components. The system includes an analyzer that compares the measured parameter value for each connection or a representative value derived from measured parameter values of the connections to an expected value. Based on the comparisons, the analyzer determines whether the multiple breakable remakeable connections between the first and second components have been broken and remade.
