COMPUTING SYSTEM WITH PROTECTION AGAINST MEMORY WEAR OUT ATTACKS
Abstract:
Technology for a computing system is described. The computing system can include memory, a controller, and a security management module. The controller can receive a block erase command for erasing data stored in a block of memory. The controller can store information associated with the block erase command in a store, wherein the information includes a block address associated with the data to be erased based on the block erase command. The security management module can read block addresses from the store, update a block erase count array over a defined interval to include block addresses read from the store, compare the block erase count array to a defined threshold, identify block addresses for which the block erase count array is above the defined threshold, and deny subsequent block erase commands for the identified block addresses.
