[vhdl-200x] Request for IP Encryption (P1735)

Hi,
Just wanted to log Charles' request for updated IP Encryption
(P1735) to the reflector so that the working group gets this
on the request list.

Best,
Jim

Hi Jim,

luckily your meeting minutes haven't arrived yet so maybe I have a chnace to put
in one more point I forgot at todays telco.

Could you also put "Native language support for IP encryption (P1735?)" on the
list? Encryption has been addressed with the most recent VHDL spec but I would
like to make sure that VHDL is in sync with what P1735 ae doing.

I already find this a very useful feature for giving customers try-before-buy
solutions. At least Aldec provide a perl script for encrypting and the
compiler/simulator can read the encrypted files. However, I think this is
currently restricted to a synplicity 'industry standard' encryption which might be
a bit behind or different to what the P1735 are doing. I would see this firstly as
a point for review and action only required if necessary.
