1. A device for detection of unsanctioned implantation of a powerline communication module in a connected product, the device comprising:
a controller;
a signal generator and a current sensor, the signal generator is configured to generate a signal and the current sensor is configured to measure the electric current evolved from the generated signal;
an AC-out connector configured to connect the device to the connected product;
an AC-in connector configured to connect the device to a mains power supply; and
an analog front-end unit (AFE) configured to couple the signal generator and the current sensor to the AC-out connector.
