Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for virtualized authentication device are described. A virtual device (such as a virtual machine) may be permitted to access secured data within a memory device by an authentication process. The memory device may generate cryptographic keys in portions of the memory device and assign the cryptographic keys to the virtual machines. The virtual machine may use an authentication process using the cryptographic keys to access the secure data in the memory device. The authentication process may include authenticating the identity of the virtual machine and the code operating on the virtual machine based upon comparing cryptographic keys received from the virtual machines to the assigned cryptographic keys in the partitions of the memory device. Once both the identity of the virtual machine is authenticated, the virtual machine may be permitted to access the secure data in the memory device.
