Chapter 10: Configuration, Design Security, and Remote System Upgrades in Stratix IV Devices
Design Security

No key
Unencrypted All configuration modes that do not engage the design security feature.
■ Passive serial with AES (and/or with decompression)
Secure with volatile key
Encrypted
■ Fast passive parallel with AES (and/or with decompression)
■ Remote update fast AS with AES (and/or with decompression)
■ Fast AS (and/or with decompression)

Unencrypted All configuration modes that do not engage the design security feature.
■ Passive serial with AES (and/or with decompression)
Secure with non-volatile key
Encrypted
■ Fast passive parallel with AES (and/or with decompression)
■ Remote update fast AS with AES (and/or with decompression)
■ Fast AS (and/or with decompression)
Board-level testing with
non-volatile key
Unencrypted All configuration modes that do not engage the design security feature.
Secure in tamper resistant
mode using non-volatile key
with tamper protection set
Encrypted
■ Passive serial with AES (and/or with decompression)
■ Fast passive parallel with AES (and/or with decompression)
■ Remote update fast AS with AES (and/or with decompression)
■ Fast AS (and/or with decompression)
Note to Table 10–21:
(1) There is no impact to the configuration time required when compared with unencrypted configuration modes except FPP with AES (and/or
decompression), which requires a DCLK that is ×4 the data rate.
You can use the design security feature with other configuration features, such as
compression and remote system upgrade features. When you use compression with
the design security feature, the configuration file is first compressed and then
encrypted using the Quartus II software. During configuration, the Stratix IV device
first decrypts and then decompresses the configuration file.
