The Achilles'Heel of Partial Reconfiguration: Optical Side-Channel Leakage on the 7-Series ICAP

Major FPGA manufacturers have incorporated bitstream encryption to protect sensitive configuration data. However, for the most widely used FPGA families, multiple attacks against unpatchable protection schemes hard-wired into the devices can bypass or fully break them, making patchable schemes desirable. In this work,...
