Tamper detection systems and methods for electronic devices carried by mobile equipment are disclosed. According to an aspect, a system includes an electronic device and a first sensor attached to the electronic device for detecting motion of the electronic device. The system includes a second sensor configured to detect motion of the mobile equipment to which the electronic device is attached. A tamper detection module receives data from the first sensor that indicates the detected motion of the electronic device. The tamper detection module receives data from the second sensor that indicates the detected motion of the mobile equipment. Further, the tamper detection module determines a difference between the detected motion of the electronic device and the detected motion of the mobile equipment. The tamper detection module determines a tamper condition for the electronic device based on the determined difference. A security action in response to determining the tamper condition.

In some examples, an embedded controller of a computing device may detect, when the computing device is in a low-power state, that a smartcard has been connected to a port of the computing device or that data has been received from an input device (e.g., keyboard or biometric input device) connected to the computing device. For the smartcard, the embedded controller may use a card driver to read data stored on the smartcard. The embedded controller may compute a hash value based on the data read from the smartcard or received from the input device. If the hash value matches a previously stored hash value, then the embedded controller may initiate a boot-up process of the computing device. If the hash value does not match the previously stored hash value, then the embedded controller may cause the computing device to remain in the low-power state.

Example approaches for customization of thermal and power policies in computers, are described. In an example, a microcontroller of a computing system, also referred to as system, validates thermal policy custom data stored in a firmware storage medium of the system, in response to a supply of power to the system. On a successful validation of the thermal policy custom data, thermal control settings is updated with a customized thermal policy included in the thermal policy custom data. In response to initiation of a boot operation of the system, a processor of the system validates power policy custom data stored in the firmware storage medium. In response to a successful validation of the power policy custom data during the boot operation, the processor updates power control settings of the system with a customized power policy included in the power policy custom data.
