Introduction

PolarFire® FPGAs represent the industry's most advanced security programmable FPGAs. Data security protects application data—stored, communicated, or computed at run-time—from being copied, altered, or corrupted. PolarFire devices have a dedicated crypto processor, called User Cryptoprocessor, for data security applications.

This application note describes User Cryptoprocessor features and how to build a Libero® and SoftConsole project to perform cryptographic operations using the User Cryptoprocessor as a coprocessor to a host general purpose processor.
