Runtime Intellectual Property Protection on Programmable Platforms
نویسندگان
چکیده
Modern Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) can accommodate complex system-on-chip designs and require extensive intellectual-property (IP) support. However, current IP protection mechanisms in FPGAs are limited, and do not reach beyond whole-design bit-stream encryption. This work presents an architecture and protocol for securing IP based designs in programmable platforms. The architecture is reprsented by the Secure Authen-tication Module (SAM), an enabler for next-generation intellectual-property exchange in complex FPGAs. SAM protects hardware, software, application data, and also provides mutual assurances for the end-user and the intellectual-property developer. Further, this work demonstrates the use of SAM in a secure video messaging device on top of a Virtex-II Pro development system.

Configurable Ring Oscillator for FPGA Chip Identification
Hardware security and intellectual property protection have become very important for vendors. Instead of storing identification information in the device, the physical unclonable functions (PUF) are widely used for identification. There are various techniques for PUF implementations. PUFs extract secretes from physical characteristics of integrated circuits. They have the unique property of ge...

The use of digital marks to provide ownership (watermarking) and recipient (fingerprinting) identification for intellectual property (IP) has become widespread. However, many of these techniques require a high complexity of copy detection, are vulnerable to mark removal after revelation for ownership verification, and are susceptible to reduced mark integrity due to partial mark removal. This p...

Intellectual property protection (IPP) of hardware designs is the most important requirement for many Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) intellectual property (IP) vendors. Digital watermarking has become an innovative technology for IPP in recent years. Existing watermarking techniques have successfully embedded watermark into IP cores. However, many of these techniques share two specific we...
متن کاملIntrinsic Physical Unclonable Functions in Field Programmable Gate Arrays
In today’s globalized economy, it has become standard business practice to include third party Intellectual Property (IP) into products. However, licensing IP to third parties forces IP vendors to ensure that they can generate revenue from their internally developed IP blocks. This is only guaranteed if designs are properly protected against theft, cloning, and grey market overproduction. In th...
