Summary	The national security agency produces guidance for those who must analyze and assess systems containing a variety of technologies. Field programmable gate arrays and similar hardware devices are becoming increasingly popular alternatives to ASICS and are being incorporated into complex and sophisticated system architectures. The objective of this research is to analyze the security issues related to FPGAS discussed in a draft guidance document. The analysis will consider the threats to and vulnerabilities of FPGAS and will provide advice regarding the currently understood risks and recommended risk mitigation factors.
