Microchip Technology has extended its FPGA family’s security with the DesignShield development tool that further helps prevent this information from being extracted for malicious purposes. Mission-critical and other high-assurance systems deployed worldwide are under rapidly evolving threats from cybercriminals who attempt to extract Critical Program Information (CPI) via the FPGAs that power them. The DesignShield tool is available under license as part of Microchip’s Early Access Program. It deters reverse-engineering of the bitstream, which can often include CPI, by obscuring its logical equivalent.
