Abstract

This work describes a novel methodology for complete
Remote Dynamic (runtime) Partial Reconfiguration (RDPR) of Field
Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) with the aid of open source web
packages and FPGA Computer Aided Design (CAD) tools which do not
require a special paid license. In addition, this work investigates the
possibility of Hardware Trojan Horse (HTH) attacks on the proposed
system, if unrestricted DPR is provided. This work also propose possible
solutions to prevent threats due to HTHs.
