Abstract
Apparatuses, systems, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for seed generation. An apparatus includes a memory element. An apparatus includes a scrambler component. A scrambler component includes a random seed generation circuit that generates a random seed. A scrambler component includes a deterministic seed generation circuit that generates a deterministic seed based on a physical address of a memory element for storing data. A scrambler component includes a computation circuit that forms a computed seed based on a random seed and a deterministic seed. Data is scrambled using a computed seed before data is stored.
