Abstract
A memory system is communicable with a plurality of hosts. The memory system includes a nonvolatile memory and a controller electrically connected to the nonvolatile memory. The controller receives an authentication request command from a first host, and transmits a first authentication code when authentication of the first host is successful. The controller receives an access command, which includes a second authentication code, for accessing the nonvolatile memory from a second host. The controller permits an access to the nonvolatile memory in accordance with the access command when the second authentication code matches the first authentication code, and prohibits an access to the nonvolatile memory in accordance with the access command when the second authentication code is different from the first authentication code.
