Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for providing error detection, correction and prevention of unauthorized access to data using memory tags. The method and apparatus includes computing an original error detection/correction code associated with a data word. The original error detection/correction code, using a CPU and a subject identification register, is copied to a tag associated with the data word when an original subject writes the data word into a memory. A single-error-correction/double-error detection (SEC/DED) device applies a first bias to the tag to create a first-biased error detection/correction code when the memory is assigned to a first subject. The SEC/DED device applies a second bias to create a twice-biased error detection/correction code when a second subject attempts to access the data word. Access to the data word is denied if the twice-biased error detection/correction code comprises an uncorrectable error.
