Methods and apparatus for extracting a setting of configuration bits to create an exclusion configuration for providing protection against peek and poke attacks in a multi-tenant usage model of a configurable device is provided. The device may host multiple parties that do not trust each other. Peek and poke attacks are orchestrated by tapping (peeking) and driving (poking) wires associated with other parties. Such attacks may be disabled by excluding the settings of configuration bits that would allow these attacks by other parties. This set of configuration bits that should be excluded for preventing all peek and poke attacks creates the exclusion configuration. Methods are described that disable a particular class of peek and/or poke attacks through the use of partial reconfiguration. Methods and apparatus are described to dynamically detect peek and/or poke attacks.
