According to one embodiment, a semiconductor memory device includes a memory which comprises an area accessible from outside and a confidential information area storing confidential information and a set flag. A controller reads the flag from the memory when instructed to erase data in the confidential information area, determines whether the flag is set, erases data in the confidential information area when the flag is clear, and abandons process requested by the data erase instruction when the flag is set. An authenticator uses data in the confidential information area to execute operation for authentication.

A semiconductor memory device includes a memory which comprises a confidential information area storing confidential information and a flag. A controller reads the flag from the memory when instructed to erase or write data in the confidential information area, determines whether the flag is set, erases or writes data in the confidential information area when the flag is clear, and abandons a process requested by an erase or write instruction when the flag is set. An authenticator uses data in the confidential information area to execute an operation for authentication. A management information area may store management information for associated pages. The flag may include a bit string and a complementary bit string to improve reliability of the flag. The confidential information area may store dummy data when the memory is used for uses other than an application with an authentication function, so no problem arises using a normal controller.

According to one embodiment, an authentication method includes generating, by the memory, first authentication information by calculating secret identification information with a memory session key in one-way function operation, transmitting encrypted secret identification information, a family key block, and the first authentication information to a host, and generating, by the host, second authentication information by calculating the secret identification information generated by decrypting the encrypted secret identification information with the host session key in one-way function operation. The method further includes comparing, by the host, the first authentication information with the second authentication information.

According to one embodiment, a device includes first and second data generator, a one-way function processor, and a data output interface. The first data generator generates a second key by encrypting a host constant with a first key in AES operation. The second data generator generates a session key by encrypting a random number with a second key in AES operation. The one-way function processor generates authentication information by processing secret identification information with the session key in one-way function operation. The data output interface outputs the encrypted secret identification information, a family key block, and the authentication information to outside of the device.

According to one embodiment, a device includes a first memory area to store a first key. A second memory area stores encrypted secret identification (ID) information generated from secret ID information with a family key. A third memory area stores a family key block including data generated from the family key with an ID key. An authentication module performs authentication. A second key is generated from a first number with the first key, a session key is generated from a random number with the second key, and authentication information is generated from the secret ID information with the session key. The encrypted secret ID information, family key block and the authentication information is output.
