Thank you for your reply

Only the ROM contents are required to be unique for each FPGA , the IP that uses it's contents will be the same. The ROM contents are required to be accessible only by the IP. The question then becomes "is there a way of programming a ROM residing in an IP core with a unique set of values for the same IP?". Could the chips .rbf image use another image just for programming those values, keeping them hidden? My project is a security application and the ROM contents are key data.

Thanks
