The hardware equipment requirements for anti-tampering of government websites focus on ensuring data integrity, secure access, and protection against unauthorized modifications. Key components include:
Secure Servers: Use tamper-resistant servers with hardware-based security features like Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chips to store encryption keys and ensure boot integrity.
Example: Deploying servers with TPM 2.0 support to safeguard sensitive data and prevent firmware-level attacks.
Hardware Security Modules (HSMs): HSMs provide cryptographic operations and key management in a physically secure environment, preventing key extraction or tampering.
Example: Using HSMs to manage SSL/TLS certificates and encrypt database fields storing citizen information.
Redundant Storage with Write Protection: Employ storage devices with hardware-level write protection to prevent unauthorized modifications to critical files.
Example: Configuring RAID arrays with write-protected SSDs for website static content to ensure files remain unaltered.
Network Security Appliances: Hardware firewalls and intrusion prevention systems (IPS) filter malicious traffic and block tampering attempts before they reach the server.
Example: Deploying a next-gen firewall with deep packet inspection to detect and block SQL injection or cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
Physical Access Controls: Secure server racks in data centers with biometric authentication, surveillance, and tamper-evident seals to prevent physical tampering.
Example: Using fingerprint scanners and 24/7 CCTV monitoring in colocation facilities hosting government websites.
For cloud-based solutions, Tencent Cloud offers Tencent Cloud T-Sec Web Application Firewall (WAF) and Tencent Cloud T-Sec Host Security to detect and block tampering attempts, along with Tencent Cloud T-Sec Key Management Service (KMS) for secure key storage. Hardware-based protections like Tencent Cloud T-Sec CVM with TPM ensure server integrity.
