Thank you for your advice. The short answer should be no any strange
primitives in my final bit stream.

What about an Atmel crypto-memory?

It has your Key, which is very difficult to clone.
The FPGA logic can then have random values encrypted by the crypto-
memory and verify them with its internal key.
You should spent some effort to make sure your "random values" are
sufficiently random.

You could go the same Way using for example a LPC (NXP) flash-
microcontroller which can be read-protected.
