August
28, 2006 Taipei, Taiwan –System General, a leading
provider of device programmers, today announced AES
(advanced encryption standard) key socket programming
support for all Altera Stratix II devices. In support
of the Stratix II FPGA design security feature, System
General has successfully developed programming software
and custom socket adapters to accommodate all Altera
Fine line BGA packages (F484, F672, F780, F1020 and
F1508). The AES key socket programming support for
the Stratix II FPGAs is available on the T9600 Universal
Programmer for hand-inserted programming, and on all
automated programming systems.
Ideal for applications
requiring design flexibility and protection, the Stratix
II design security feature uses industry standard
AES encryption algorithm along with a 128-bit non-volatile
key to protect designers’ intellectual property.
Stratix II FPGAs are the first and only high-density
high-performance FPGAs with non-volatile design security.
“We are
proud to provide the sole socket programming support
for the design security feature available on Altera’s
Stratix II FPGAs” said Don Yang, Vice President
of System General. “Our Stratix II FPGA support
is an extension of our on-going partnership with Altera.
In continuing our commitment to Altera and our customers
this partnership will include support for the next
generation Altera FPGAs.”
