Non-volatile memory with partition write protection and protection location disorder processing and its write operation method

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of resistance type random access memory peripheral design and particularly relates to a non-volatile memory with partition write-protection and guard position scrambling processing functions and a write-operation method thereof. An overall circuit of the non-volatile memory comprises two resistive memory arrays with different functions and two peripheral write-protection circuits with corresponding functions. One resistive memory array is used for saving data related to secret keys, certification labels and other safety information, and the other resistive memory array is used for saving protected data needing to be confirmed during write-operation. By means of the memory and method, the data related to safety information can be independently saved to prevent modification or prevent the protected information from being unintentionally modified or maliciously tampered by the outside.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of non-volatile memory, and in particular relates to a non-volatile memory with partition write protection and protected location disorder processing and a write operation method thereof, which guarantee the security of different data. Background technique [0002] Non-volatile memory (non-volatile memory) refers to the memory that can still store valid information after power failure. Due to its non-volatile nature, it is mostly used for long-term storage of data. And because of its application in security fields such as key storage, its security issues must be taken into consideration. For example, in the FPGA configuration flow storage, encryption / authentication is required, and the required encryption / authentication key needs to be stored in the OTP area to prevent rewriting; and the configuration flow storage area, due to the importance of the configuration flow data itself, also needs to have a lot of ...

[0010] Data in common storage arrays in this structure is unprotected and vulnerable to attacks

Moreover, the protection information is stored in an independent non-volatile storage unit, which is not convenient for integration. At the same time, because the corresponding information must be read before each write operation to the OTP storage array, the storage speed will be reduced, and it is not suitable for high-speed storage. stored in the application
