Security Problems of Latest FPGAs and Reverse Engineering Methods of Xilinx 7-series FPGAs

Field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) are commonly used in modern electronic applications, such as home appliances, automobiles, aerospace applications, and Internet of Things (IoT). However, security research is still insufficient compared to the rapidly developing design using FPGA. Attackers frequently attempt to hack into the vulnerable security of FPGA and introduce malicious codes, such as trojan. To defend against these attacks, it is necessary to determine the structure of FPGA accurately and study hackers
