Features
Bitwise transforms and hardens FPGA bitstreams, then validates security posture—so teams can ship encryption-enabled designs with measurable assurance.
TRANSFORM
- Decrypts and re-encrypts a bitstream with a new key
- Converts a plaintext bitstream into an AES-GCM encrypted bitstream
- Converts an AES-GCM encrypted bitstream into a plaintext bitstream
- Verifies a RSA authenticated bitstream
- Re-signs an RSA authenticated bitstream
- Re-encrypts RSA authenticated bitstreams
- Performs microbitstream compression with the option of encryption
HARDEN
- Decrypts and re-encrypts a bitstream with a new key
- Remove commands for hardening purposes (e.g., WBSTAR)
- Salt-injected NOPs to make encryption harder to solve
- Shuffle commands to prevent breaking of encryption
- Inject NOPs to prevent breaking of encryption
SECURITY VALIDATION
- Detects method of authentication of a bitstream
- Detects encryption used on a bitstream
- Detects whether a Warm Boot Start register is used within a bitstream
- Detects whether BRAM or eFUSE key storage is used
- Detects encryption scheme of encrypted bitstreams
- Provides overview of registers used
LEVEL OF ASSURANCE ASSESSMENT
- Provides assessment on LoA compliance for specific threat descriptions
- Provide security score with regard to LoA compliance
- States criteria to become compliant
- Recommends steps (when applicable) to achieve compliance
- Provides information extracted from metadata when available
