If I would really care about security, I would not pick SRAM FPGA in the first place. The are nice Flash based FPGAs out there for projects with high security requirements. They don’t need configuration devices leaking bitstream all over the place.
On the other hand is somehow sad, that popular 7 series is compromised. Though I never saw a company, that cared about bitstream security. It was best case “nice to have” feature, usually being completely ignored.
- duskwuff 7y agoA lot of flash-based FPGAs are actually an SRAM FPGA with an internal flash die bonded to the configuration pins. The bitstream is harder to get to, but it's still available to a determined attacker.
