1. A tamper-proof gateway, comprising:
a data intake module, executed by at least one processor, configured to be coupled to one or more data generation devices;
a data transmission module, executed by the at least one processor, configured to transmit data to a network, the data being derived from sense information generated by the one or more data generation devices;
a tamper switch configured to generate an alert signal in response to sensing tampering of the tamper-proof gateway;
an enclosure, wherein the data transmission module is disposed in the enclosure, wherein the tamper switch is configured to generate the alert signal in response to sensing tampering of the enclosure; and
a controller, executed by the at least one processor, coupled to the tamper switch and the data transmission module, the controller configured to:
place the tamper-proof gateway in a secure state in response to receiving the alert signal from the tamper switch, and
withdraw the tamper-proof gateway from the secure state in response to receiving authentication information; and
the enclosure is a first enclosure, the tamper switch is a first tamper switch and the alert signal is a first alert signal, wherein the tamper-proof gateway further comprises a second enclosure and a second tamper switch, and wherein:
the first enclosure encloses the second enclosure, and
the second tamper switch is configured to generate a second alert signal in response to sensing tampering of the second enclosure.
