Abstract: This paper presents a solution for secure remote reconŻgura-
tion of FPGAs. Communicating the bitstream has to be done in a secure
manner to prevent an attacker from reading or altering the bitstream.We
propose a setup in which the FPGA is the single device in the system's
zone-of-trust. The result is an FPGA architecture that is divided into a
static and a dynamic region. The static region holds the communication,
security and reconŻguration facilities, while the dynamic region contains
the targeted application.
