  • Memory in integrity performance enhancement systems and methods
    Patent number: 11301325
    Abstract: A write request causes controller circuitry to write an encrypted data line and First Tier metadata portion including MAC data and a first portion of ECC data to a first memory circuitry portion and a second portion of ECC data to a sequestered, second memory circuitry portion. A read request causes the controller circuitry to read the encrypted data line and the First Tier metadata portion from the first memory circuitry portion. Using the first portion of the ECC data in the First Tier metadata portion, the controller circuitry determines if an error exists in the encrypted data line. If no error is detected, the controller circuitry decrypts and verifies the data line using the MAC data in the First Tier metadata portion. If an error in the data line is detected, the Second Tier metadata portion, is fetched from the sequestered, second memory circuitry portion and the error corrected.
