1. A multi-chip hardware security module comprising:
a multi-chip module package comprising multiple electronic components packaged onto a laminate carrier;
a two-piece laminate carrier-like module lid covering the electronic components and secured to the laminate carrier, wherein the two-piece laminate carrier-like module lid comprises a hollow lid ring bonded to the laminate carrier with a conductive adhesive and a lid cover coupled to the lid ring with a conductive interconnect;
sensor circuitry embedded within the laminate carrier and the laminate carrier-like module lid, the sensor circuitry providing a continuous electrical circuit surrounding the electronic components of the multi-chip module package; and
thermal circuitry embedded within the two-piece laminate carrier-like module lid, the thermal circuitry comprising solid copper structures to thermally conduct heat from the electronic components of the multi-chip module package.
