Protect Your Valuable Design IP From Copying and Reverse Engineering

Microsemi FPGAs leverage built-in design security features to protect your valuable design IP:

– Secure configuration bit streams via encryption and protection from DPA attacks
– Tamper protection, zeroization, and secure key storage to protect your design
– Secure Production Flow Programming
Cryptographically Secure Build Tickets – build only N systems
Certificate of Conformance- prove only N number of devices were built

Secure Configuration Bit Streams with DPA Protection

Microsemi FPGAs use encrypted, DPA protected and authenticated bit streams to prevent copying and cloning.

– Only bitstreams encrypted with the key matching the key in the device will be programmed into that device
– Hardware security modules allow for secure production programming and accounting of programmed devices

Tamper Protection, Zeroization and Security Key Protection

Protecting Your Design also requires features to detect unauthorized access to critical on-chip data.

– On chip built in tamper detectors
– User configurable tamper macro with EnforcIT IP for tamper response
– Zeroize the device in response to a tamper event
– Disable JTAG, ETM
– Disable Verify
– Permanently lock user design
– Permanent Factory Test Mode Lockout
– Password protected Re-configurable security settings

Secure Production Flow Programming

Hardware Security Modules (HSMs), managed by a secure production center, create a secure environment using:

– Cryptographically Secure Build Tickets – build only N systems
– Certificate of Conformance – prove only N number of devices were built
– Certificate of Conformance – prove only N number of devices were built
