Session Overview
This webinar will delve into the critical role of hardware security verification, outlining why it is essential for protecting modern FPGA designs from RTL through to the FPGA bitstream. It will stress the use of formal-based methods and FPGA bitstream security analysis as a rigorous approach to ensure the integrity and resilience of FPGA-based hardware designs. In addition, the presentation will provide an overview of a recommended hardware security flow, detailing the key stages and best practices in the process.

In addition, we will introduce Bitwise (powered by Red Balloon Security) as a point-and-click assurance tool that delivers rapid security analysis and hardening of FPGA bitstreams. Bitwise validates whether security settings in a generated bitstream are correctly implemented in a FPGA design and provides a security score, without access to project design files or vendor source code.
These technologies operate synergistically and integrate with our previous security and assurance focused webinar - Improving FPGA Safety and Security Compliance: FPGA Equivalence Checking from RTL to the Bitstream.
