In this chapter, you will be introduced to the SoC security aspects and how they are addressed by the FPGA SoC hardware. Here, you will learn about the security paradigms available in the ARM-based processors within the SoC. You will also be introduced to the security aspects related to the software and how they make use of the hardware security features to build a secure SoC in an FPGA. This chapter will also introduce all the security features that have been specifically built by Xilinx for their FPGAs since they require a bitstream file to be stored for configuration at boot time; this is how the process is protected.
In this chapter, we’re going to cover the following topics:
