Systems and methods that can facilitate the utilization of a memory as a slave to a host are presented. The host and memory can provide authentication information to each other and respective rights can be granted based in part on the respective authentication information. The host can determine the available functionality of the memory. The host can activate the desired functionality in the memory and can request memory to perform the desired function(s) with regard to data stored in the memory. An optimized controller component in the memory can facilitate performing the desired function(s) associated with the data to generate a result. The result can be provided to the host, while the data and associated information utilized to generate the result can remain in the memory and are cannot be accessed by the host.
