Microsemi Responds To Claims Of a Backdoor In Their FPGA Products
So two days ago, we reported on a potential issue with some FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) ASICs from Microsemi/Actel; namely the ProASIC3. The issue was discovered by a group of researchers that were looking into a potential security risk with these programmable components. What they claimed to have found was a hidden backdoor that had its own key set which could allow for access into the chip for readback, re-programming and potentially wiping the instructions from the chip itself.
