AMD Launches Tamper-Resistant Versal Chips for Security-Critical Systems

AMD has introduced new Versal tamper-resistant devices, extending its Versal AI Edge Series Gen 2 range. These chips are designed to protect against physical attacks on silicon, targeting defense, critical infrastructure, data center networking, and financial technology sectors. The devices are the first adaptive SoCs or FPGA-based products with built-in protection against backside physical attacks, utilizing a sensor-based protection die bonded to the main compute die with 3D active-on-active technology. They also include expanded hardware acceleration for post-quantum cryptography.
