April 2011 Altera Corporation
Stratix IV Security Protection
AES Decryption Block
Flexible Security Key Storage
Stratix IV device designs are protected from copying, reverse engineering, and
tampering using configuration bitstream encryption.
Security Against Copying
The security key is securely stored in the Stratix IV device and cannot be read out
through any interfaces. In addition, as configuration file read-back is not supported in
Stratix IV devices, the design information cannot be copied.
Security Against Reverse Engineering
Reverse engineering from an encrypted configuration file is very difficult and time
consuming because the Stratix IV configuration file formats are proprietary and the
file contains millions of bits which require specific decryption. Reverse engineering
the Stratix IV device is just as difficult because the device is manufactured on the most
advanced 40-nm process technology.
Security Against Tampering
The non-volatile keys are one-time programmable. After the Tamper Protection bit is
set in the key programming file generated by the Quartus II software, the Stratix IV
device can only be configured with configuration files encrypted with the same key.
The main purpose of the AES decryption block is to decrypt the configuration
bitstream prior to entering data decompression or configuration.
Prior to receiving encrypted data, you must enter and store the 256-bit security key in
the device. You can choose between a non-volatile security key and a volatile security
key with battery backup.
The security key is scrambled prior to storing it in the key storage to make it more
difficult for anyone to retrieve the stored key using de-capsulation of the device.
Stratix IV devices support two types of security key programming—volatile and
non-volatile keys.
