ChevinID is a silicon‑rooted authentication and protection solution designed to secure FPGA, ASIC, and embedded systems across the entire lifecycle. Built on Physically Unclonable Function (PUF) technology, ChevinID assigns each device a unique, intrinsic identity that cannot be copied or transferred, enabling strong, hardware‑level trust without external secure elements.
The solution protects valuable intellectual property—including FPGA bitstreams, RTL designs, and embedded software—by binding execution and access to authenticated hardware. Cryptographic keys are securely contained within encrypted envelopes, ensuring they are never exposed during operation. This approach safeguards against cloning, reverse engineering, and unauthorized deployment.
ChevinID also enables flexible, hardware‑based licensing models, allowing vendors to control feature activation, enforce usage policies, and create new revenue streams. For Intel/Altera FPGA users, ChevinID integrates seamlessly with exist
