Actel has launched the first website dedicated to the growing problem of design theft and lack of awareness in the industry. The Actel security resource centre (www.actel.com/products/security) provides customers and design engineers with information on the fundamentals of security issues and secure FPGA solutions, including technology tutorials, market overviews, white papers, government links and extensive glossaries.
"Increasingly, FPGAs are displacing ASICs in many applications. Unfortunately, the system security implications of choosing FPGA technologies are not well understood within the design community. Without precautions, corporations run the risk of encountering major breaches in security, resulting in the theft of valuable intellectual property and ultimately undermining a company's profitability," said Barry Marsh, vice president of product marketing at Actel. "Actel's website serves as a resource for those companies that are serious about understanding the scale and potential damage of the security threats that exist and protecting their products from design theft."
With the increase in FPGA adoption, devices have grown in size and complexity, making the need for secure logic devices more apparent. More often than not, the key intellectual property (IP) which differentiates the system from competitive offerings is housed in programmable logic.
