Abstract
A secure memory that couples to a host memory controller via a host memory interface remains secure by permanently altering a security key when a hardware interrupt detector detects that a signal between the host memory interface hardware and the host memory controller hardware is interrupted. Such an interruption could be, for example, a blackout, a brownout, or a person decoupling any portion of the host memory interface, even pins that are normally unused by a standard memory module, such as a DRAM, MRAM, or SSD module.
