A host computer with a FPGA is communicatively coupled to a configuration computer via a communication network. The host computer receives target configuration data from the configuration computer in encrypted form. A scanner module that is associated with the host computer decrypts the target configuration data and scans it for malicious code. The module writes the target configuration data to the fabric area of the FPGA and thereby configures the FPGA accordingly, to enable execution of a target array application. The scanner module is associated with the host computer by being implemented as trusted execution environment, or as an on-array-processor.

Mitigating FPGA related risks

Methods, systems, and computer readable media for extending security of an application-based computer operating system are disclosed. One system includes a memory. The system also includes an application-based operating system security module bridge implemented using the memory. The application-based operating system security module bridge is for receiving, from a reference monitor, a registration for at least one security authorization hook, for receiving a callback when a protected event occurs, for communicating with the reference monitor that registered the at least one security authorization hook corresponding to the callback, and for receiving, from the reference monitor, an access control decision associated with the protected event.
