Claim:
1. An electronic package comprising: a plurality of electronic components; an enclosure in which the plurality of electronic components reside, the enclosure comprising a thermally conductive cover overlying the plurality of electronic components; a tamper-respondent assembly fully surrounding the enclosure; at least one heat transfer element coupled to, or integrated with, a main surface of the thermally conductive cover of the enclosure and residing fully within the enclosure between the main surface of the thermally conductive cover and at least one electronic component of the plurality of electronic components, the at least one heat transfer element being thermally conductive and spaced from the at least one electronic component; and a thermal interface filler material disposed between and coupling the at least one heat transfer element and the at least one electronic component, and facilitating conductive transfer of heat from the at least one electronic component to the thermally conductive cover of the enclosure through the at least one heat transfer element, the thermally conductive cover facilitating spreading and dissipating the transferred heat outwards through the tamper-respondent assembly.
