Abstract: Embodiments herein describe techniques for validating binary files used to configure a hardware card in a computing system. In one embodiment, the hardware card (e.g., an FPGA) includes programmable logic which the binary file can configure to perform a specialized function. In one embodiment, multiple users can configure the hardware card to perform their specialized tasks. For example, the computing system may be server on the cloud that hosts multiple VMs or a shared workstation. Permitting multiple users to directly configure and use the hardware card may present a security risk. To mitigate this risk, the embodiments herein describe techniques for validating encrypted binary files.
