\subsection{Tamper-sensing meshes then and now}
Concluding both our patent research and our experimental survey, we find that tamper-sensing meshes have been a
commonplace technology throughout the past 150 years. While mesh manufacturing technology has experienced some
advancements from historical wire-wound meshes to modern meshes always being constructed in printed circuit processes,
mesh monitoring approaches have received surprisingly little attention through the centuries and even in recent,
state-of-the-art systems, a simple comparator monitoring a mesh arranged in a wheatstone bridge configuration is still
considered sufficient by manufacturers.

In our survey, we have found a wide variety in tamper sensing mesh construction techniques. Meshes are commonly
