Application: Write protect function with secure certificate authentication (Patent ID: US20230394160A1)
The patent filed by Renesas Electronics Corp. describes an apparatus with a memory slot containing a certificate chain for an entity and a memory block with protection enabled. The processing device in the apparatus receives a request message from the entity's computing device to clear protection for the memory block, validates the request using a signature generated from the entity's private key, and clears the protection if the signature is valid and corresponds to the certificate chain.
The apparatus can also receive and install certificate chains, differentiate between memory blocks with protection enabled, and handle multiple requests for clearing protection based on the validity of signatures and certificate chains. Additionally, the patent covers scenarios where protection can be cleared based on matching nonces, updating firmware with secure signature verification, and activating firmware based on hash verification. The method outlined in the patent ensures secure and authenticated access to memory blocks within the apparatus, providing a robust protection mechanism against unauthorized access or modifications.
