Tamper-Indicating Seals used for many different applicationsTamper-indicating seals, often called “security seals” or simply “seals”. Tamper-indicating seals are designed to record unauthorized access or entry. Tamper-indicating seals are widely used for many different applications. These include access control, records integrity, inventory and cargo security, theft prevention and detection, hazardous mate-rials accountability, nuclear nonproliferation/safeguards and security, law enforcement, customs, counterterrorism, counterespionage, and tamper-indicating packaging for consumer products. Tamper-indicating seals have important applications in many areas, including nuclear disarmament and hazardous waste management. There are, however, many theoreti-cal and practical problems with current seals and seals usage, as well as with tamper-indicating detection in general. Most current seals appear to be highly vulnerable to simple and rapid attacks, although tamper-indicating seals can change with improvements to the seals or to how they are used. Few seals appear to be designed with disarmament and waste management applications in mind. Better seals are possible, especially if new approaches and tech-nologies can be exploited. Seals based on sophisticated technology, however, do not automatically provide better security. ST’s tamper-indicating seals stock is a solution to help prevent product liability risks. ST’s tamper-indicating seals system is designed to adhere to challenging surfaces - including high and low surface energy plastics, and powder coat painted metals. The tamper-indicating seals aggressive adhesive has excellent durability under a variety of adverse conditions.
