Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for protective actions for a memory device based on detecting an attack are described. In some systems, a memory device may detect whether a fault is injected into the memory device. The memory device may apply a delay during boot up if a fault is detected. To ensure the delay is applied, the memory device may default to applying the delay and may remove an indication to apply the delay if a fault is not detected. Additionally or alternatively, the memory device may erase information from non-volatile memory during boot up, for example, if a fault is detected. The memory device may be configured to ensure at least a specific portion of memory resources (e.g., resources configured to store sensitive information) is erased during boot up. In some examples, the memory device may store data using a stream cipher to improve security of the data.
