Tamper respondent module
First Claim
1. A tamper respondent module, comprising:
- a basecard adapted to be inserted into a slot in a rack enclosure comprising at least one guide edge, at least one electrical coupler, a surface and at least one electronic component that contains information in an electronic format;
an outer cover coupled to the basecard, comprising at least five sides with at least one side being oriented generally parallel to the surface and spaced a distance from the surface, and a plurality of the remaining sides being disposed adjacent to the surface of the basecard, the outer cover being arranged in a covering relationship over the at least one electronic component and at least partially over the surface of the basecard; and
further comprising an anti-tamper apparatus disposed between the outer cover and the surface, and adapted to have electromagnetic energy distributed therein, damage to the anti-tamper apparatus resulting in a detectable variation of the electromagnetic energy distribution of the anti-tamper apparatus.

Abstract
A tamper respondent module includes a basecard adapted to be inserted into a slot in a rack enclosure comprising at least one guide edge, at least one electrical coupler, a surface and at least one electronic component that contains information in an electronic format. In one example, an outer cover is coupled to the basecard and includes at least five sides. The outer cover is arranged in a covering relationship over the at least one electronic component. In another example, an anti-tamper apparatus is disposed between the outer cover and the surface. In another example, an anti-tamper circuit is electrically coupled to the at least one electronic component. In another example, a thermal frame is thermally coupled to the at least one electronic component.
