Microchip has launched the industry's first tool to strengthen FPGA design protection

     The mission key systems and other high security systems deployed around the world are facing the threat of the rapid development of cyber criminals. They tried to steal key program information (CPI) through on -site programming door array (FPGA). Microchip Technology Inc launched a development tool called Designshield (Design Safety Shield), which further enhanced the security of the FPGA series of products and prevent CPI from being maliciously extracted.

     Bruce Weyer, vice president of Microchip FPGA business department, said: "As a leading company in the security field, Microchip provides the risk of cloning, intellectual property theft, reverse engineering or malicious Trojan invasion. Designshield tools to protect the deployed system CPI, which is essential for maintaining national security and maintaining economic vitality. This tool promotes the development of the BitStream protection mechanism and provides an additional defense layer to ensure that the deployment system is prescribed by the deployment system. It is expected to run to prevent forgery, avoiding their designs of developers and brand reputation. "

     The Designshield tool aims to protect developers of aerospace, national defense and other high -security systems, and prevent network criminals from obtaining the FPGA's Bit flow from the on -site deployment system. It uses logic and routing -based encryption technology to cover up the logic equivalent of the Bi special flow (usually includes CPI), thereby preventing the contrasting reverse engineering. This method can improve the security and integrity of design, at the same time reduce the risk of system damage, and reduce the possibility of custom code, intellectual property rights or important information that is vital to national security by unauthorized personnel.
