COMPUTING DEVICE PROVIDING MERKLE TREE-BASED CREDIBILITY CERTIFICATION, STORAGE DEVICE, AND METHOD FOR OPERATING STORAGE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18297623 titled 'COMPUTING DEVICE PROVIDING MERKLE TREE-BASED CREDIBILITY CERTIFICATION, STORAGE DEVICE, AND METHOD FOR OPERATING STORAGE DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The storage device in a computing device provides Merkle tree-based credibility certification by generating random hash values, creating Merkle trees with these values as leaf nodes, generating private keys for super blocks based on root nodes of Merkle trees, and transmitting private key information to a host device for credibility certification.
- The storage device generates random hash values by hashing an erase count and a seed for each super block.
- A Merkle tree is created with the random hash value as a leaf node for each super block.
- Private keys are generated for each super block based on the root nodes of the Merkle trees.
- The private key information, including the plurality of private keys, is transmitted to a host device for credibility certification.

Original Abstract Submitted
A storage device included in a computing device which provides Merkle tree-based credibility certification may generate a random hash value by hashing an erase count and a seed of each of a plurality of super blocks, may generate a Merkle tree in which the random hash value is a leaf node, for each of the plurality of super blocks, may generate a plurality of private keys corresponding to the plurality of super blocks, respectively, on the basis of root nodes of Merkle trees of the plurality of respective super blocks, and may transmit private key information including the plurality of private keys to a host device. The host device may use the private key information in credibility certification of the storage device.
