Abstract

A security server to provide security services over a computer network based on security features of memory devices connected to host systems. For example, the security features of a memory device can include a unique device secret, a cryptographic engine, and an access controller to implement access privileges represented by cryptographic keys. After receiving identity data that is generated by the memory device and represented by a cryptographic key, the security server can determine authenticity of the memory device based on its copy of the unique device secret of the memory device. The security server can generate a verification code for a command and cause the command and the verification code to be communicated to the memory device, where the access controller of the memory device validates the verification code in determining whether to block execution of the command in the memory device.
