Abstract
A configurable logic component is shown with a signature generator, responsive to a commanded configuration information signal from a processor, for providing a signed commanded configuration information signal, and with a memory device, responsive to the signed commanded configuration information signal from the signature generator, for storing the signed commanded configuration information signal in the configurable logic component for use by the processor in checking a current configuration of the configurable logic component against a trusted signed configuration file to ensure the current configuration matches the commanded configuration and allowing use of the configurable logic component in case of a match.
