Hi,  

 

I’m trying to dig into the security features of a Cyclone V. 

 

Assuming it is worth to decap and delayer the device to have a look at the eFuses with a microscope – even in 28nm.  

 

Can then the key be extracted, even if it is presumable descrambled? 

 

A relevant answer is highly appreciated. 

Thanks in advance. 

Regards
