Abstract
The class of reconfigurable systems, which include the digital field programmable gate array (FPGA) and emerging new technologies such as neuromorphic computation and memristive devices, represent a type of frontier for cyber security. In this chapter, we provide a brief sketch of the field of reconfigurable systems, introduce a few basic ideas about cyber security, and consider the implications of cyber security as it applies to present and future devices. We also attempt to provide some insights on how to add robustness to reconfigurable systems technologies.
