Claim:
1. A tamper-respondent assembly comprising: an electronic enclosure to enclose, at least in part, at least one electronic component to be protected, the electronic enclosure comprising an inner main surface, and an inner sidewall surface including at least one inner-sidewall corner; a tamper-respondent electronic circuit structure comprising a tamper-respondent sensor covering, at least in part, the inner sidewall surface of the electronic enclosure, the tamper-respondent sensor comprising multiple slots therein, the multiple slots facilitating disposing the tamper-respondent sensor to cover the at least one inner-sidewall corner of the inner sidewall surface by allowing for one or more regions of overlap of the tamper-respondent sensor at the at least one inner-sidewall corner of the electronic enclosure; and wherein the tamper-respondent sensor is an inner-sidewall tamper-respondent sensor, and the tamper-respondent electronic circuit structure further comprises an inner main surface tamper-respondent sensor disposed, at least in part, over the inner main surface of the electronic enclosure, the inner-sidewall tamper-respondent sensor and the inner main surface tamper-respondent sensor being discrete, tamper-respondent sensors that overlap, at least in part, and facilitate defining a secure volume about the at least one electronic component to be protected.
