encrypt my IP

Hi, I am sending the customer my IP component for integrating into their SOPC but do not know yet how to encrypt it like Altera MegaCore IP. Actually, I just want them to work with my component...

Hi Pletz,

I just found this link in the forum :

http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3863&highlight=encrypt

At the last reply, Rysc implied qxp is breakable. So is it safe to use qxp ?

Regards,

Quan

Hi Quan,

I was not aware that an encryption SW is available from Altera. If this is true, then I would recommend to go that way. The qxp-file was not intented to be used us "encryption", so I assume it is possible to break it more easier then a "real" encrypted design.

Kind regards
