Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: Remote update of hardware systems is a convenient service enabled by Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) based systems. This service turns out to be essential in applications like Space-based FPGA systems or Set-top Boxes. Hover, the remote characteristic allows for a set of attacks that may challenge the confidentiality and the integrity of the FPGA configuration, the bitstream. Existing schemes propose to encrypt and to authenticate the bitstream to thwart those attacks. Hover  show in this paper that they do not prevent the replay of old bitstream versions, and thus give the opportunity to an adversary to downgrade the system.  propose a new technique that ensures bitstream confidentiality and integrity and detects replay of old bitstreams.
