<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a memory device including a technique for authentication of operations of the memory device to prevent modification and/or read-out of memory content without passage through signature validation processing. <P>SOLUTION: A memory device 220 includes a memory cell array 260 and a first controller 215 located within the memory cell array. The first controller receives a write command from a second memory controller 212, the write command to access the memory cell array, and determines authentication of the write command, and determines whether to modify content of the memory cell array based, at least in part, on the determined authentication. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
