We are thrilled to announce that Sundance will be presenting at the upcoming FPGA Frontrunner 2026 event. Our Chief Innovation Officer, Dr. Mans Ahmadian, will take the stage to unveil our latest work: a defense-grade secure workflow for manufacturing, testing, and programming FPGAs.
As defense and aerospace systems evolve, the security perimeter has shifted. Protecting data in the field is no longer sufficient; we must secure the entire supply chain. Dr. Ahmadian’s talk, “Defense-Grade Implementation Using PolarFire FPGA on Sundance PCIe104N Platform,” addresses the risks of bitstream interception and hardware overbuilding in distributed manufacturing.
Using the Microchip PolarFire MPF500T and our PCIe104N platform, Sundance has developed a workflow based on Physically Unclonable Functions (PUFs). This ensures each FPGA has a unique, uncloneable identity. By integrating Secure Production Programming Solutions (SPPS), we ensure that sensitive keys are never exposed and only genuine, authorized hardware is provisioned.
This architecture offers our partners total confidence, preventing IP leakage and side-channel attacks from the factory floor to final deployment. Join us at FPGA Frontrunner 2026 to see how we are setting a new standard for hardware-rooted trust
