Abstract:
A non-volatile memory, such as a NAND memory, may be encrypted by reading source blocks, writing to destination blocks, and then erasing the source blocks. As part of the encryption sequence, a power fail recovery procedure, using sequence numbers, is used to reestablish a logical-to-physical translation table for the destination blocks.
