摘要: Tamper-respondent assemblies and methods of fabrication are provided which include at least one tamper-respondent sensor and a detector. The at least one tamper-respondent sensor includes conductive lines which form, at least in part, at least one tamper-detect network of the tamper-respondent sensor(s). In addition, the tamper-respondent sensor(s) includes at least one interconnect element associated with one or more conductive lines of the conductive lines forming, at least in part, the tamper-detect network(s). The interconnect element(s) includes at least one interconnect characteristic selected to facilitate obscuring a circuit lay of the at least one tamper-detect network. The at least one interconnect element is undetectable by x-ray, and the conductive lines are detectable by x-ray. In operation, the detector monitors the tamper-detect network(s) of the tamper-respondent sensor(s) for a tamper event.

摘要: Tamper-respondent assemblies are provided which include an enclosure assembly mounted to a circuit board and enclosing an electronic component(s) within a secure volume. The enclosure assembly includes an enclosure with an edge surface coupled to the circuit board, and a tamper-respondent sensor. The tamper-respondent sensor covers the edge surface and an inner surface of the enclosure. The sensor includes multiple layers, and at least one tamper-detect circuit. The tamper-detect circuit(s) includes a conductive trace(s) in a tamper-detect pattern covered, at least in part, by at least one layer of the multiple layers. The at least one layer is partially removed to provide exposed regions and unexposed regions of the conductive trace(s) at the edge surface of the enclosure. The conductive trace(s) is contacted where exposed by an adhesive securing the sensor to the circuit board. A monitor circuit monitors the tamper-detect circuit(s) for a tamper event.

摘要: Tamper-respondent assemblies and fabrication methods are provided which incorporate enclosure to circuit board protection. The tamper-respondent assemblies include a circuit board, and an electronic enclosure mounted to the circuit board and facilitating enclosing at least one electronic component within a secure volume. A tamper-respondent electronic circuit structure facilitates defining the secure volume, and the tamper-respondent electronic circuit structure includes a tamper-respondent circuit. An adhesive is provided to secure, in part, the electronic enclosure to the circuit board. The adhesive contacts, at least in part, the tamper-respondent circuit so that an attempted separation of the electronic enclosure from the circuit board causes the adhesive to break the tamper-respondent circuit, facilitating detection of the separation by a monitor circuit of the tamper-respondent electronic circuit structure.

摘要: The embodiments relate to a method for integrating a venting system in a circuit board. Three or more interconnected accesses (VIAs) are formed in a printed circuit board (PCB). The VIAs are interconnected by routing a bi-planar channel spanning through the VIAs. The channel includes at least two sections, including a first channel section at a first plane extending from the first VIA to the second VIA and a second channel section at a second plane extending from the second VIA to the third VIA. The first and second sections are at different planar levels.

摘要: Tamper-respondent assemblies, electronic packages and fabrication methods are provided which incorporate a vent structure. The tamper-respondent assembly includes an electronic enclosure to enclose, at least in part, an electronic component(s) to be protected. The electronic enclosure includes an inner surface, and an air vent. A tamper-respondent electronic circuit structure is provided which includes a tamper-respondent sensor disposed to cover, at least part, the inner surface of the electronic enclosure, and define, at least in part, a secure volume about the electronic component(s). The vent structure includes at least one air passage coupling in fluid communication the secure volume and the air vent of the electronic enclosure to allow air pressure within the secure volume to equalize with air pressure external to the tamper-respondent assembly.

摘要: Tamper-respondent assemblies and methods of fabrication are provided which include at least one tamper-respondent sensor having unexposed circuit lines forming, at least in part, one or more tamper-detect network(s), and the tamper-respondent sensor having at least one external bond region. The tamper-respondent assembly further includes at least one conductive trace and an adhesive. The conductive trace(s) forms, at least in part, the one or more tamper-detect network(s), and is exposed, at least in part, on the tamper-respondent sensor(s) within the external bond region(s). The adhesive contacts the conductive trace(s) within the external bond region(s) of the tamper-respondent sensor(s), and the adhesive, in part, facilitates securing the at least one tamper-respondent sensor within the tamper-respondent assembly. In enhanced embodiments, the conductive trace(s) is a chemically compromisable conductor susceptible to damage during a chemical attack on the adhesive within the external bond region(s).

摘要: Assembly apparatuses and processes are provided which include a pressure cure fixture. The pressure cure fixture is sized to reside within a container, such as an electronic enclosure, and facilitate applying pressure to an adhesive disposed over an inner surface of the container. The pressure cure fixture is formed of a material with a higher coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) than the container, and is sized to correspond, at least in part, to an inner space of the container while allowing for the adhesive and a surface-mount element to be disposed between the pressure cure fixture and the inner surface of the container. When heated, the pressure cure fixture expands greater than the container and imparts the pressure to the surface-mount element and the adhesive to facilitate securing the surface-mount element to the inner surface of the container.

摘要: Tamper-respondent assemblies and fabrication methods are provided which utilize liquid crystal polymer layers in solid form. The tamper-respondent assemblies include a circuit board, and an enclosure assembly mounted to the circuit board to enclose one or more electronic components coupled to the circuit board within a secure volume. The assembly includes a tamper-respondent sensor that is a three-dimensional multilayer sensor structure, which includes multiple liquid crystal polymer layers, and at least one tamper-detect circuit. The at least one tamper-detect circuit includes one or more circuit lines in a tamper-detect pattern disposed on at least one liquid crystal polymer layer of the multiple liquid crystal polymer layers. Further, a monitor circuit is provided disposed within the secure volume to monitor the at least one tamper-detect circuit of the tamper-respondent sensor for a tamper event.
