Low-cost FPGAs do not even have built-in support for encrypted (full) bitstreams. Our particular PUF implementation does not steal valuable FPGA real estate from the actual design with the help of multi-boot. We favor multi-boot over self partial reconfiguration as it is easier to implement
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
