Diamond Design Software from Lattice Semiconductor Enables Enhanced Security Features for MachXO3D FPGAs

Business Wire
Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: LSCC), the low power
programmable leader, today announced immediate availability of a
new software release (SP1) for its powerful Lattice Diamond® 3.11
design software that includes new capabilities to access the
MachXO3D™ FPGA’s security features that protect system firmware
against data and design theft, product cloning and overbuilding,
and tampering.
“Firmware is an increasingly popular threat vector for today’s
cyberattacks and can leave companies exposed to threats against
their products, profitability, and corporate reputation. OEMs are
looking for easy to implement, hardware-based security solutions
that help their computing, communications, industrial control and
automotive systems protect, detect and recover from firmware
attacks,” said Roger Do, Senior Product Line Manager, Software at
Lattice. “These new features in our Diamond software enable locking
and encryption in the MachXO3D that protect against unauthorized
access or modification of the FPGA’s flash memory, thus preventing
any functional device modification or erasure.”
The new Diamond 3.11 software release simplifies creation of the
public, private, and encryption keys that confirm the authenticity
and confidentiality of a MachXO3D FPGA bitstream; a requirement for
implementing Root of Trust (RoT) applications. Furthermore,
designers can quickly and easily build RoT algorithms that block
external attacks by dynamically locking the MachXO3D’s read,
program, and erase protection features. The new software release
also enables protection of secure key material and system
configuration and protection boundary manifests stored in the
MachXO3D device’s internal flash memory.
