PKI based dynamic reconfiguration home network media centre

By combining the dynamic reconfiguration technology and the public key infrastructure technology (PKI), the vendor can provides the most suitable and personal licensed partial configuration bit stream to the FPGA target system by Internet. For the encrypted configuration bit stream can only be decrypted by the unique private key, which provides the fine protection for the intelligence property of the vendor. The home network media centre is presented in the paper as an example of the PKI based dynamic reconfiguration system.
