Hardware roots of trust. Secure boot architectures. FPGA bitstream protection. Physical anti-tamper design. Built for programs where adversarial access to your hardware is a threat model — not a footnote.
If your contract, program office, or threat model puts hardware security on the table, A2e Anti-Tamper is built for that conversation.
Comprehensive hardware security engineering across the full stack — from silicon to firmware.
Secure element integration, TPM integration, and immutable boot anchor architecture — establishing a hardware-anchored chain of trust that software alone cannot provide.
Cryptographically authenticated boot sequences from power-on through OS load — with key hierarchy design, rollback protection, and fail-secure behavior baked in.
AES bitstream encryption, readback disable, device binding, and key provisioning workflows for Xilinx and Intel/Altera platforms — protecting IP at the bitstream level.
Hardware-based key storage, secure provisioning procedures, zeroization circuits, and key lifecycle management — designed for production and field operation.
Anti-tamper plans, threat model documentation, and design evidence packages to support program office review, DAL assessments, and security audits.
Four phases — from threat model through verified, documented hardware security design.
Most hardware security is an afterthought. A2e Anti-Tamper treats it as a first-class design requirement from day one.
Representative outcomes from A2e engagements. All results are anonymized per customer requirements.
Delivered a complete anti-tamper design package — hardware architecture, threat model, and AT plan — satisfying program office review for a defense prime on a compressed schedule.
Implemented FPGA bitstream encryption and hardware key zeroization for a deployed defense platform, eliminating IP extraction risk identified in a pre-program security assessment.
Assessed and redesigned the security posture of a legacy embedded platform to meet new contract anti-tamper requirements — without requiring a full board respin.
Results vary by program complexity, scope, and customer collaboration. Contact us for a candid assessment of your specific situation.
Hardware security done right requires expertise that few design firms offer. A2e Anti-Tamper brings that depth to your program — with the compliance infrastructure to back it up.
ITAR-registered, CMMC-certified facility. Your anti-tamper design work happens in an environment already built for sensitive defense programs.
Hardware security designed alongside PCB layout, FPGA development, and embedded software — not handed off between disconnected teams.
Anti-tamper plans, threat models, and design evidence packages built to support program office review — not assembled under pressure at the end.
Whether you're scoping a new program with AT requirements or assessing an existing platform's security posture — tell us about your hardware. We'll give you a candid assessment of your exposure and where A2e Anti-Tamper adds the most value.
Anti-tamper requirements don't get easier to address after architecture is locked. The best time to bring in A2e Anti-Tamper is at the start of your program.
