Patent attributes
A system and method for detecting tampering are disclosed. In one aspect, the system includes an optical fiber with a first end and a second end, the optical fiber conformed to an object. The object includes a container having multiple parts that physically alter the optical fiber when the container or at least one of the multiple parts is tampered with. The system also includes a detachable light source configured to emit a light pulse, the optical fiber configured to receive the light pulse at the first end and emit an optical signature at the second end. The system further includes a detachable optical spectral analyzer configured to capture a current optical signature from the second end, the optical spectral analyzer in communication with a data store.
