Abstract
A circuit board assembly may include a first printed circuit board having at least one trace plane. The trace plane may have a plurality of traces secured to a core material of the first printed circuit board. A security layer may be included, where the security layer at least partially covers the at least one trace plane such that the security layer forms at least one of a ground shield and an electromagnetic shield over the at least one trace plane. In some implementations, the security layer may be integral with a core material of the circuit board.
