Inhaltsangabe

In Security Trends for FPGA's the authors present an analysis of current threats against embedded systems and especially FPGAs. They discuss about requirements according to the FIPS standard in order to build a secure system. This point is of paramount importance as it guarantees the level of security of a system. Also highlighted are current vulnerabilities of FPGAs at all the levels of the security pyramid. It is essential from a design point of view to be aware of all the levels in order to provide a comprehensive solution. The strength of a system is defined by its weakest point; there is no reason to enhance other protection means, if the weakest point remains untreated. Many severe attacks have considered this weakness in order not to face brute force attack complexity. Several solutions are proposed in Security Trends for FPGA's especially at the logical, architecture and system levels in order to provide a global solution.

Über diesen Titel

Von der hinteren Coverseite

This book is designed for all those who would like to upgrade their knowledge in the field of security and digital platforms including reconfigurable FPGAs. It is the result of a national project (ICTER) funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR) and involving four research centers (Montpellier, Paris, Lorient, Saint-Etienne) and a private company.

This book details several solutions for secure application execution and application update. It presents an analysis of current threats against embedded systems and especially FPGAs. The discussion includes requirements to build a secure system, according to the FIPS standard. New secure schemes are proposed to ensure data confidentiality, integrity and authentication. These new schemes fit the tight requirements of embedded systems (performance, memory footprint, logic area and energy consumption). The cost of different architectures for performance, memory, and energy are estimated. Innovative solutions for remote reconfigurations are also detailed, taking into account security when downloading a new bitstream. Since the replay of an old bitstream in the field is a major threat for embedded systems, this issue is discussed and an original solution proposed.

• Proposes solutions at the logical, architecture and system levels in order to provide a global solution
• Clearly defines the security boundaries for a system
• Describes different hierarchical levels of a design, from application to technological levels
