Abstract:
Embodiments are disclosed for replacing one or more pages of a memory to level wear on the memory. In one embodiment, a system includes a page fault handling function and a memory address mapping function. Upon receipt of a page fault, the page fault handling function maps an evicted virtual memory address to a stressed page and maps a stressed virtual memory address to a free page using the memory address mapping function.
Abstract:
A memory controller encrypts contents of a page frame based at least in part on a frame key associated with the page frame. The memory controller generates a first encrypted version of the frame key based at least in part on a first process key associated with a first process, wherein the first encrypted version of the frame key is stored in a first memory table associated with the first process. The memory controller generates a second encrypted version of the frame key based at least in part on a second process key associated with a second process, wherein the second encrypted version of the frame key is stored in a second memory table associated with the second process, the first process and the second process sharing access to the page frame using the first encrypted version of the frame key and the second encrypted version of the frame key, respectively.

Abstract:
Described are systems and method for protecting data and instructions shared over a memory bus and stored in memory. Independent and separately timed stream ciphers for write and read channels allow timing variations between write and read transactions. Data and instructions can be separately encrypted prior to channel encryption to further secure the information. pad generators and related cryptographic circuits are shared for read and write data, and to secure addresses. The cryptographic circuits can support variable data widths, and in some embodiments memory devices incorporate security circuitry that can implement a shared-key algorithm using repurposed memory circuitry.
