Securing FPGA Designs in Operation and Distribution -- A Survey

From the early 2000s, SRAM FPGAs have become larger, more complex, and
they are used in ever more applications. Designs made for them, therefore,
reflect significant investment by their creators. Additionally, since designing
for today's FPGAs require specialization, companies look to "core vendors"
in order to purchase ready-made functions for incorporation into their designs.
In this talk, based on a survey of the SRAM FPGA design security field, I
will discuss the "core distribution" problem and some proposed solutions.
Special attention will be given to how we can achieve a protection scheme
for multiple cores from multiple sources in a single FPGA design in order
to enable a better distribution model that we have today. |
