    Date of Patent: November 24, 2020
    Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.
    Inventors: Jared E. Hulbert, John C. Rudelic, Hongyu Wang
  • EXECUTING APPLICATIONS FROM A SEMICONDUCTOR NONVOLATILE MEMORY
    Publication number: 20190146812
    Abstract: A processor-based device (e.g., a wireless device) may include a processor and a semiconductor nonvolatile memory to directly execute an application (e.g., an execute-in-place application) using an associated database. Within a flash memory, in one embodiment, an executable program may be separately stored in a non-fragmented manner from a resident database that includes program management information for use in an execution that does not involve a random access memory, saving time and resources.

  • Data deduplication
    Patent number: 10282128
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes devices and methods for data deduplication. One such method includes receiving a write command, transforming data associated with the write command, determining if a transformation value of the data exists in a transformation table, and responsive to a determination that the transformation value does not exist in the transformation table, writing the data associated with the write command to a memory device.

  • Nonvolatile memory internal signature generation
    Patent number: 9336410
    Abstract: A nonvolatile memory device generates a signature using a private key and contents within the memory device. The signature is stored in a secure area within the nonvolatile memory device. A processor having the same private key also generates a signature that is stored in the clear. The processor validates the contents of the nonvolatile memory by comparing the signatures.

  • Authenticated nonvolatile memory signing operations
    Patent number: 8539238
    Abstract: A wireless device includes a nonvolatile memory that handles the task of securely performing integrity checks that do not expose the authentication private key externally. The system security architecture installs and associates private keys with the nonvolatile memory to create a secure execution environment resistant to virus attack. The nonvolatile memory provides integrity checks of nonvolatile memory data and generates signatures for data provided by the memory.
