SETTING BASED ACCESS TO DATA STORED IN QUARANTINED MEMORY MEDIA

Abstract:

Methods and apparatuses related to settings based access to data stored in quarantined memory media are described. Memory systems can include multiple types of memory media (e.g., volatile and/or non-volatile) and data (e.g., information included in) stored in the memory media are subject to risks of the data being undesirably exposed and/or viewable to the public. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a particular portion and/or location in the memory media can provide a data protection scheme, and a setting associated with the data can include security protocols that can control the accessibility to the stored data. For example, a setting can be associated with data to be stored in a particular location of the memory media, and responsive to a request to access the data, the setting can initiate an authentication of the request.
