Abstract
An integrated circuit having secure configuration includes configuration memory, programmable logic resources coupled to the configuration memory, programmable interconnection resources coupled to the configuration memory and programmable logic resources, and a configuration controller circuit coupled to the configuration memory. The configuration controller circuit is configured to read values from a configuration memory address of a portion of the configuration memory in response to a configuration memory address contained in input configuration data, and to decrypt the input configuration data using the values as a decryption key. The configuration controller is further configured to program the configuration memory of the integrated circuit with the decrypted input configuration data.
