SECURE DATA TRANSFER AFTER AUTHENTICATION BETWEEN MEMORY AND A REQUESTER

摘要

Systems and/or methods are presented that can facilitate controlling access to secure memory blocks within a memory module. The subject innovation can employ key components that can contain two or more storage locations for authentication information that can facilitate controlling access to secure memory block components. Secure memory block counter components can be employed to indicate which storage location within the key component contains current authentication information associated with the respective secure memory block components. The disclosed subject matter allows for multiple secure memory block components to have separate authentication information to provide more than one user or entity to store data in their own secure memory block component. Multiple storage locations associated with the key components to substantially alleviated or eliminate the loss of secure areas of a memory module if power is lost during the updating of the authentication information associated with the secure areas.
