REDUCING CRYPTOGRAPHIC UPDATE ERRORS IN MEMORY DEVICES USING CYCLICAL REDUNDANCY CHECKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17887346 titled 'REDUCING CRYPTOGRAPHIC UPDATE ERRORS IN MEMORY DEVICES USING CYCLICAL REDUNDANCY CHECKS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system involving a memory device with a secure storage area, a server for generating cryptographic data and computing CRC values, and a manufacturer computing device for sending commands with cryptographic data and CRC values to the memory device.
- Memory device computes a local CRC value using cryptographic data in the command.
- Memory device compares the local CRC value to the CRC value in the command.
- Memory device writes cryptographic data to the secure storage area if the local CRC value matches the CRC value.
- Potential Applications
- Secure data storage in memory devices
- Preventing unauthorized access to sensitive information
- Problems Solved
- Ensuring data integrity during storage
- Protecting cryptographic data from tampering or unauthorized access
- Benefits
- Enhanced security for stored data
- Efficient verification of data integrity
- Reliable storage of cryptographic information
Original Abstract Submitted
In some aspects, the techniques described herein relate to a system including: a memory device including a secure storage area; a server configured to generate cryptographic data and compute a cyclical redundancy check (CRC) value of the cryptographic data; and a manufacturer computing device configured to receive the cryptographic data and the CRC value and issue a command including the cryptographic data and the CRC value to the memory device, wherein the memory device is configured to compute a local CRC value using the cryptographic data in the command, compare the local CRC value to the CRC value, and write the cryptographic data to the secure storage area when the local CRC value matches the CRC value.
