Abstract

An NVDIMM requests an authentication object in response to a detected command to initiate a save operation to copy first memory data located in volatile memory on the NVDIMM to non-volatile memory located on the NVDIMM. The NVDIMM determines based on the authentication object that authentication has failed. The NVDIMM implements, in response to determining that authentication has failed, a security measure to prevent recovery of the first memory data.
