Abstract
Apparatuses and methods related to authenticating memory. Memory devices can be authenticated utilizing authentication codes. An authentication code can be generated based on information stored in a fuse array of the memory device. The authentication code can be compared to an externally provided authentication code to authenticate the memory device. The memory device may be authenticated to ensure that the memory device is not a security threat.
