In this survey we introduce a few secure hardware implementation methods for FPGA platforms in the context of side-channel analysis. Side-channel attacks may exploit data-dependent physical leakage to estimate secret parameters like a cryptographic key. In particular, IP-cores for security applications on embedded systems equipped with FPGAs have to be made secure against these attacks. Thus, we discuss how the countermeasures, known from literature, can be applied on FPGA-based systems to improve the side-channel resistance. After introducing the reader to the FPGA technology and the FPGA reconfiguration workflow, we discuss the hiding-based countermeasure against power analysis attacks especially designed for reconfigurable FPGAs.
