Abstract
Techniques described herein are related to protecting at least a portion of data stored in a memory array. A method may include detecting an invalid memory access request based at least in part on the secret key and the identifier and preventing unauthorized access of a memory array by halting an internal refresh of one or more memory cells associated with the memory array in response to detecting the invalid memory access request.
