3.2. Quartus Encryption Settings
To enable bitstream encryption for a design, you must specify the appropriate options using the Assignments > Device > Device and Pin Options > Security panel. You select the Enable configuration bitstream encryption checkbox, and the desired Encryption key storage location from the dropdown menu.
Alternatively, you may add the following assignment statement to your Intel Quartus Prime settings .qsf file:
set_global_assignment -name ENCRYPT_PROGRAMMING_BITSTREAM on set_global_assignment -name PROGRAMMING_BITSTREAM_ENCRYPTION_KEY_SELECT eFuses
If you want to enable additional mitigations against side-channel attack vectors, you may enable the Encryption update ratio dropdown and Enable scrambling checkbox.
The corresponding changes in the .qsf are:
set_global_assignment -name PROGRAMMING_BITSTREAM_ENCRYPTION_CNOC_SCRAMBLING on set_global_assignment -name PROGRAMMING_BITSTREAM_ENCRYPTION_UPDATE_RATIO 31
