Intel® Stratix® 10 Secure Device Manager Provides six

Use case: multiple instance, multiple security level solutions

The SDM’s unprecedented flexibility, and the ability to confgure and secure logical sectors of the Intel Stratix 10 FPGA and
SoC separately, enables an important class of use cases for high-performance computing, data centers, and cloud-based
environments.
As part of a large heterogenous computing solution or data center, Intel Stratix 10 FPGAs and SoCs contribute highperformance hardware acceleration to a system solution. These accelerator functions can be highly diverse, and can use all of
the resources of a Intel Stratix 10 device or only a small fraction of these resources.
When confguring a portion of the FPGA, the confguration data for that portion or sector can be encrypted separately and
protected from the rest of that design. It can also be decrypted and authenticated by the SDM or other base user logic using
different keys than the rest of the design. These encryption keys can be pre-loaded and protected into the Intel Stratix 10
confguration, or provisioned to the device security in run-time. This multi-instance, multi-user security style makes Intel
Stratix 10 FPGAs and SoCs ideal for environments where IP and sector-based designs are shared among multiple potential
designers and users.
