Security Solutions for SoCs with Embedded FPGA Technology

QuickLogic’s Australis-generated eFPGA IP is now available with bitstream protection by using Intrinsic ID’s QuiddiKey® to provide security options for devices incorporating embedded FPGA (eFPGA) technology. Some of the security options include secure key generation based on SRAM Physical Unclonable Function (PUF) to full security solutions including bitstream encryption, key wrapping, authentication tags, key verification, and data encryption/decryption for storage within the device or for board- or system-level communications. As a result, QuickLogic’s eFPGA customers can secure the designs that they implement on the eFPGA or authenticate the design being loaded in the eFPGA.

The combined solution provides multiple security options for a wide range of applications ranging from industrial IoT to aerospace and defense. Specific applications include secure key storage, authentication, flexible key provisioning, anti-counterfeiting, IP binding, and supply chain protection.
