摘要： Methods and systems of managing memory addresses in a large capacity multi-level cell based flash memory device are described. According to one aspect, a flash memory device comprises a processing unit to manage logical-to-physical address correlation using an indexing scheme. The flash memory is partitioned into N sets. Each set includes a plurality of entries (i.e., blocks). N sets of partial logical entry number to physical block number and associated page usage information (hereinafter ‘PLTPPUI’) are stored in the reserved area of the MLC based flash memory. Only one the N sets is loaded to address correlation and page usage memory (ACPUM), which is a limited size random access memory (RAM). In one embodiment, static RAM (SRAM) is implemented for fast access time for the address correlation. LSA received together with the data transfer request dictates which one of the N sets of PLTPPUI is loaded into ACPUM.

摘要： Portable electronic storage devices with hardware based security are described. According to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a portable electronic storage device (PESD) comprises a security engine integrated thereon. The security engine is configured to provide data encryption, data decryption, and encryption/decryption key (referred to as a key) generation according to a security standard (e.g., Advance Encryption Standard (AES)). AES is a symmetric encryption algorithm processing data in block of 128 bits. Under the influence of a key, a 128-bit data block is encrypted by transforming the data block in a unique way into a new data block of the same size. AES is symmetric sine the same key is used for encryption and the reverse transformation (i.e., decryption). The only secret necessary to keep for security is the key. AES may use different key-lengths (i.e., 128-bit, 192-bits and 256-bits).
