Request for IEEE 1735 Encryption Public Key

Our company sells Intel FPGA hardware and IP cores that can be used together with Intel FPGAs. We want to encrypt (with 3rd party tool) RTL using IEEE 1735 v1 standard which will then be synthesized in Quartus. User Guide pointed me to this forum to ask for the key (Intel-FPGA-Quartus-RSA-x).

    Quartus Prime STD cannot de-/encrypt IEEE1735 v1?


    You are right, Quartus Prime Std does not support this.

      We normally use Quartus Prime Standard for the development of our IP solutions.

      But the encryption is done by an external tool.
      Our customers must be able to decrypt our IP cores with any Quartus Prime edition (Standard and Pro).

      We already have Ampcrypt...

      For us the important thing is, that we have an encryption method that allows Quartus and ModelSim to use (decrypt) VHDL sources. Is this possible with Ampcryp for ModelSim?

      So you say that Quartus Prime PRO can encrypt and decrypt IEEE1735 v1
      but
      Quartus Prime STD cannot de-/encrypt IEEE1735 v1?

      Your link does not include any answer record to encryption.

      I already marked the answer above as solution. So my request is answered.

      But it would be very nice if there would be a way to encrypt vhdl and then use it with Quartus STD and ModelSim without providing the precompiled libraries...

      Maybe in a few years
