3. AES Bitstream Encryption

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) bitstream encryption is a feature that enables a device owner to protect the confidentiality of intellectual property in a configuration bitstream.

To help protect the confidentiality of keys, configuration bitstream encryption uses a chain of AES keys. These keys are used to encrypt owner data in the configuration bitstream, where the first intermediate key is encrypted with the AES root key.
