A memory system can be provided with error detection capabilities at various levels and authentication and integrity check capabilities in parallel with data security schemes. The error detection capabilities can check for any errors not only on data paths within a memory controller, but also on data stored in memory devices. The authentication capabilities provided in parallel with the data security schemes can ensure/strengthen data integrity of the memory system to be compliant with standardized requirements and/or protocols, such as trusted execution engine security protocol (TSP).
