PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC DEVICE, KEY FORMING CIRCUIT, AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING A SECURITY INFORMATION

摘要

The invention relates to a programmable logic device(10), which is programmed by way of a bit stream (13) so as to have a key forming circuit (11). The key forming circuit (11) is configured so as to generate, at run time, security information (K) that relates to a crypto-graphic key, which can be made available to a crypto-graphic unit (12) as an input parameter.
