Abstract
Secure updating of programmable integrated circuits includes receiving, within the programmable integrated circuit, a configuration bitstream, inserting, using a processor of the programmable integrated circuit, a key into the configuration bitstream resulting in a modified configuration bitstream, encrypting, using the programmable integrated circuit, the modified configuration bitstream using the key resulting in an encrypted configuration bitstream, and storing the encrypted configuration bitstream in a boot memory for the programmable integrated circuit.
