Security Technology

Algotronix carries out research on encryption schemes for protecting intellectual property rights in FPGA bitstreams. This includes protecting designs stored in EPROMs adjacent to the FPGA from 'cloning' and reverse engineering, protecting designs being downloaded into an FPGA in the field from tampering and copying and supporting pay-per-use licensing of FPGA design fragments and complete FPGA designs.

This work has resulted in a number of patent applications which are available for licensing.
