Intellectual property protection is a major concern for both hardware and software architects today. Recently secure platforms have been proposed to protect the privacy of application code and enforce that an application can only be run or accessed by authorized hosts. Unfortunately, these capabilities incur a sizeable performance overhead. Partitioning an application into secure and insecure r...

The aim of this work is to present some of the capabilities of a Semantically Intellectual Enhanced Property Protection System. The system has reached a prototype phase where experiments are possible. It uses an extensive semantic net algorithms for Polish language that enable it to detect similarities in two compared documents on a level far beyond simple text matching. SEIPro2S benefits both ...

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 ...

Adequate protection of digital copies of multimedia content – both audio and video – is a prerequisite to the distribution of this content over networks. Until recently digital audio and video content has been protected by its size: it is difficult to distribute and store without compression. Modern compression algorithms allow substantial bitrate reduction while maintaining highfidelity reprod...
