  • METHOD, SYSTEM, AND APPARATUS FOR ENCRYPTING, INTEGRITY, AND ANTI-REPLAY PROTECTING DATA IN NON-VOLATILE MEMORY IN A FAULT TOLERANT MANNER
    Publication number: 20080320263
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, a method for providing encryption, integrity, and anti-replay protection of data in a fault tolerant manner is disclosed. A data blob and an anti-replay table blob are copied to a temporary storage region in a non-volatile memory. In an atomic operation, a status indicator is set and a monotonic counter is incremented after the data blob and the anti-replay table blob are copied to the temporary storage region. If a fault occurs while the status indicator is set, the data blob and the anti-replay table blob may be recovered from the temporary storage region.
