Security

Optimized FPGA Security for Every Node

Altera’s programmable FPGA security solutions, including Agilex™ and Stratix® 10 families, integrate robust hardware-based capabilities including our Secure Device Manager (SDM), anti-tamper detection and response, and a variety of cryptographic features to help safeguard data, IP and system integrity. The security landscape is consistently evolving, which means that the resilience built into the systems we ship today need one capability above all others: Flexibility. Read on to learn how Altera has built flexibility into our security solutions, to help you protect your products for years to come.

Why FPGAs

Flexible Firmware-Driven Security Subsystem

Secure Device Manager (SDM) serves as the central command center for the FPGA fabric, hard processor system (HPS) in SoCs, embedded hard IP blocks, and I/O blocks. The SDM controls key operations: configuration, device security, single event upset (SEU) responses, and power management.

Network Security

Agilex™ FPGA devices with 200G (half-duplex) hard crypto blocks and MACSec-IP for physical and data link layer protection capabilities help meet the growing demand for security at every node in a network system.

Endpoint and Industrial Security

Endpoints must be secured from malicious commands and malware. Hardened authentication capabilities (in both hard and soft logic) built into Stratix® 10 and Agilex™ FPGAs help protect against remote attacks, and hardware command/control logic is inherently more secure than frequent software updates.
