摘要： A low cost data storage and communication system is disclosed. The low cost data storage and communication system has a host and at least one card connected to the host. A voltage negotiator located in the system for determining a common operating voltage range that is a common denominator of all independent operating voltage ranges of all of the cards connected to the system. In addition, a novel feature of partitioning the memory storages of the card is also disclosed. This feature provides the host the ability to simultaneously erase any combination of sectors in a single erase group, or any combination of the entire erase groups. Another feature feature provided by this novel method of partitioning the memory storages is the ability to write protect any combination of memory groups in the card.

摘要： A secure memory card with encryption capabilities comprises various life cycle states that allow for testing of the hardware and software of the card in certain of the states. The testing mechanisms are disabled in certain other of the states thus closing potential back doors to secure data and cryptographic keys. Controlled availability and generation of the keys required for encryption and decryption of data is such that even if back doors are accessed that previously encrypted data is impossible to decrypt and thus worthless even if a back door is found and maliciously pried open.

摘要： An universal and detachable low cost data storage system adaptable to different communication protocols. Particularly, the storage system can be attached to hosts running different communication protocols such as MultiMediaCard and Serial Peripheral Interface. The storage system automatically selects the protocol in response to the host requirements such that the entire protocol selection process will be transparent to the host.

摘要： A device with mass storage capability that uses a readily available non secure memory for the mass storage but has firmware (and hardware) that provides security against unauthorized copying of data. This is true even though the firmware itself is stored in the non secure mass storage memory, and therefore potentially vulnerable to hacking. An indication of the authenticity of the firmware must be present before it will be executed by the device. This protects the device contents from unauthorized duplication or tampering. Additional functionality can be added to the device with additional firmware applications, and the authenticity of those additional applications will also be verified before they will be executed. This further prevents unauthorized copying or tampering of secure content through any mechanisms that may be unscrupulously introduced. Any data within the mass storage memory may also be encrypted.
