Abstract
Various techniques are provided to implement cryptographic hardware sharing systems and methods. In one example, a programmable logic device (PLD) includes a configuration engine configured to provide configuration data for processing using a first set of security functions. The PLD further includes a PLD fabric including an array of memory cells configured to operate upon being programmed using the configuration data and provide user data for processing using a second set of security functions. The PLD further includes a security engine including a cryptographic circuit and an interface integration logic circuit. The logic circuit is configured to selectively couple, based on an indicator, the configuration engine or PLD fabric to the cryptographic circuit. The cryptographic circuit is configured to perform the first set or second set of security functions when coupled to the configuration engine or PLD fabric, respectively, by the logic circuit. Related systems and methods are provided.
