Unlike microcontroller projects, projects involving FPGAs cannot yet claim to rely on a mature open-source toolchain. Each FPGA will, at some point, need to be configured with a proprietary bitstream ...

Field Programmable Gate Arrays, FPGAs for short, are flexibly programmable computer chips that are considered very secure components in many applications. In a joint research project, scientists from ...

“FPGA bitstream encryption and authentication can be defeated by various techniques and it is critical to understand how these vulnerabilities enable extraction and tampering of commercial FPGA ...

A critical vulnerability in FPGA chips can help hackers steal key data of enterprises London: A team of German researchers has discovered a critical vulnerability in FPGA chips, part of Cloud data ...

Security is a critical part of FPGA solutions, and FPGA providers have invested much effort into securing the bitstream. However, there is a need for a cryptographic solution for FPGAs beyond the ...

The iCE40 series of FPGAs gets a fair bit of coverage on these pages, largely due to its accessibility (thanks to huge efforts in reverse engineering and open tool chains) and likely also due to ...

FPGA chips can be found in many safety-critical applications today, from cloud data centers and mobile phone base stations to encrypted USB-sticks and industrial control systems. Their decisive ...
