New Security Threats on FPGAs: From FPGA Design Tools Perspective

The growing market share of FPGAs motivates the increasing number of attackers to tamper with FPGA systems. The majority of existing research efforts on FPGA security focus on counterfeiting devices, hardware Trojans, reverse engineering hardware designs via decomposing or decrypting bitstream files, and side-channel analysis attacks. Those attacks are typically limited to the FPGA systems impleme...
