Claim 7:
8. A multi-chip hardware security module comprising:
a multi-chip module package comprising multiple electronic components packaged onto a laminate carrier;
a laminate carrier-like module lid covering the electronic components and secured to the laminate carrier with a conductive adhesive;
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, wherein the sensor circuitry comprises staggered vias in internal layers of the laminate carrier-like module lid; and
thermal circuitry embedded within the laminate carrier-like module lid, the thermal circuitry comprising solid copper traces and through vias in outermost layers adjacent to top and bottom surfaces of the laminate carrier-like module lid.
