Claim:
1. A tamper-respondent assembly comprising: a circuit board; 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 facilitating defining the secure volume, the tamper-respondent electronic circuit structure comprising a tamper-respondent circuit; an adhesive securing, in part, the electronic enclosure to the circuit board, the adhesive contacting, at least in part, the tamper-respondent circuit of the tamper-respondent electronic circuit structure, wherein separation of the electronic enclosure from the circuit board causes the adhesive to break the tamper-respondent circuit, thereby facilitating detection of the separation; and wherein the circuit board comprises a multilayer circuit board, and wherein the tamper-respondent electronic circuit structure further includes an embedded tamper-respondent sensor within the multilayer circuit board, the embedded tamper-respondent sensor facilitating defining, at least in part, the secure volume.
