1.2.1. Physical Anti-Tamper

Physical anti-tamper features help detect and respond to certain physical attacks on silicon.
The SDM monitors operating conditions such as input clocks, voltage, and temperature to detect device tampering. Changes in these conditions may indicate a tampering event. You can choose an appropriate response to a detected event. Possible responses include but are not limited to the following actions:
  • Device lock
  • Device lock with configuration data zeroization
  • Device lock with configuration data zeroization and BBRAM key erasure

You enable the physical anti-tamper features during the design process. The Intel® Agilex™ device activates the anti-tamper features as a configuration bitstream is loaded.
