Many Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) based systems utilize third-party intellectual property (IP) in their development. When they are deployed in non-networked environments, the question raises how this IP can be protected against non-authorized use. We describe an offline authentication scheme for IP modules. The scheme implements mutual authentication of the IP modules and the hardware p...

This memo describes the security protocols for IP version 4 (IPv4) and IP version 6 (IPv6) and the services that they provide. Each security protocol is specified in a separate document. This document also describes key management requirements for systems implementing these security protocols. This document is not an overall Security Architecture for the Internet; it addresses only IP-layer sec...

Providing network security is one of the most important tasks in todays Internet. Unfortunately, many users are not able to protect themselves and their networks. Therefore, a novel security concept is presented to protect users by providing security measures at the Internet Service Provider level. Already now, Internet Service Providers are using different security measures, e.g., Virtual Loca...

Owing to massive complexity of modern digital integrated circuits (ICs) disabling complete inhouse development, globalization of the design process establishes itself as an inevitable solution for faster and efficient design. However, globalization incurs importing intellectual property (IP) cores from various third party (3P) vendors, rendering an IP susceptible to hardware threats. To provide...
