How does the IP Remote Interface feature provide IP security over the Internet?
The IP Remote Interface allows IP providers to leverage the Internet’s capability to securely authenticate customers. This security can be used to control access. It can also be used to collect payments using E-commerce. In one scenario, IP providers could authenticate a customer with a password, charge the customer account using E-commerce, gather the customer’s input parameters through a web GUI, modify behavioral HDL source code, run a synthesizer on their server, write the EDIF netlist, call the Xilinx encryption API, and post back to the customer a secure encrypted netlist and compiled behavioral model.
