Abstract: ABSTRACT A system (100) for handheld point-of-sale transaction processing with integrated tamper detection includes an impedance analyser circuit (104) configured to measure complex impedance and capacitive sensing electrodes (106) configured to detect capacitance changes at a card insertion slot perimeter of a card reader (108). A hardware processor (110) classifies motion data received from an inertial measurement circuit (112) into a plurality of motion contexts, and adapts tamper detection threshold values for physical intrusion sensors based on the classified motion context. The hardware processor (110) compares the complex impedance against a stored impedance baseline and generates a hardware integrity anomaly signal. The hardware processor (110) correlates the hardware integrity anomaly signal with a capacitance deviation and a physical intrusion signal to confirm a tamper event, and commands a secure cryptoprocessor (114) to erase cryptographic keys upon confirming the tamper event.
