Luke Miller recently published a blog on SemiWiki.com titled "Is Your FPGA Design Secure? Use Xilinx to Make Sure." With the amount of recent press coverage connected to Internet-based hacking and other data breakins, the need for more secure system designs ought to be self-evident.

Miller's blog post contains several pointers to Xilinx resources that will indeed help you beef up your design's security. Miller recommends that you start at the Design Security Solutions page on the Xilinx Web site. There, you'll see this chart listing the various active and passive security features in the latest four All Programmable device generations (UltraScale, 7 series including the Zynq SoC, Virtex-6 and Spartan-6, and Virtex-5).
