摘要:
Methods of fabricating tamper-respondent assemblies and electronic assembly packages are provided which include multiple, discrete tamper-respondent sensors that overlap, at least in part, and facilitate defining a secure volume about one or more electronic components to be protected, such as an electronic assembly. The tamper-respondent sensors include a first tamper-respondent sensor and a second tamper-respondent sensor, which may be similarly constructed or differently constructed. In certain embodiments, the tamper-respondent sensors wrap, at least in part, over an electronic enclosure, and in other embodiments, the tamper-respondent sensors cover, at least in part, an inner surface of an electronic enclosure to facilitate defining a secure volume in association with a multilayer circuit board to which the electronic enclosure is mounted.

Methods of fabricating tamper-respondent assemblies are provided which include an electronic enclosure, a tamper-respondent electronic circuit structure, and at least one security element. The electronic enclosure encloses, at least in part, at least one electronic component to be protected, and includes an inner surface. The tamper-respondent electronic circuit structure includes a tamper-respondent sensor covering, at least in part, the inner surface of the electronic enclosure, and the at least one security element overlies and physically secures in place, at least in part, the tamper-respondent sensor covering, at least in part, the inner surface of the electronic enclosure. In enhanced embodiments, the electronic enclosure is secured to a multilayer circuit board which includes an embedded tamper-respondent sensor, and together, the tamper-respondent sensor covering the inner surface of the electronic enclosure and the embedded tamper-respondent sensor within the multilayer circuit board define a secure volume about the electronic component(s).

Electronic circuits, electronic packages, and methods of fabrication are provided. The electronic circuit includes a multilayer circuit board, and a tamper-respondent sensor embedded within the circuit board. The tamper-respondent sensor defines, at least in part, a secure volume associated with the multilayer circuit board. In certain implementations, the tamper-respondent sensor includes multiple tamper-respondent layers embedded within the circuit board including, for instance, one or more tamper-respondent frames and one or more tamper-respondent mat layers, with the tamper-respondent frame(s) being disposed, at least in part, above the tamper-respondent mat layer(s), which together define the secure volume where extending into the multilayer circuit board. In certain embodiments, one or more of the tamper-respondent layers are divided into multiple, separate tamper-respondent circuit zones, with the tamper-respondent layers, including the circuit zones, being electrically connected to monitor circuitry within the secure volume.

Tamper-respondent assemblies and methods of fabrication are provided which include a tamper-respondent electronic circuit structure. The tamper-respondent electronic circuit structure includes a tamper-respondent sensor. The tamper-respondent sensor includes, for instance, at least one flexible layer having opposite first and second sides, and circuit lines forming, at least in part, at least one tamper-detect network, such as one or more resistive networks. The circuit lines are disposed on at least one of the first side or the second side of the at least one flexible layer. At least one region of the tamper-respondent sensor is fabricated with increased susceptibility to damage from mechanical stress associated with a tamper event. The at least one region of increased susceptibility to damage facilitates detection of the tamper event by the tamper-respondent sensor.
