7004 - MachXO3D: How does enabling AES feature decryption bits "RAND_AES" and "RAND_NOISE" impact on MachXO3D device configuration processing time?
RAND_AES and RAND_NOISE are clock randomization and random noise injection features, mainly use for Differential power analysis (DPA) resistance in Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) decryption. Both features are target for AES decryption, to prevent attacker from knowing the plain text decrypted from the cipher text.
Enabling these features might impact the configuration execution time due to clock randomization will alter the clock frequency in random fashion.
