Abstract

Examples of systems and method described herein or generating, in a memory controller and/or memory device, access codes for memory regions of the memory device using authentication logic, and for accessing the memory device using the access codes. For example, a memory controller and/or a coupled memory device may generate access codes that a host computing device may include in a memory access request to access one or more memory regions of the memory device. Data read or written at the memory device may in some examples only be accessed in accordance with the access codes for memory regions of the memory device. Accordingly, the systems and methods described herein may provide security for specific memory regions of a memory device because the access code are updated periodically (e.g., based on obtained reset indication) or in accordance with an updated count value from a counter.
