Secure memory system programming for host device verification

A method for configuring a host device comprising a memory system, the method comprising:

• storing a memory system identification key at the memory system;
• receiving subscriber software, by the host device, the subscriber software for interfacing the host device to a subscription service the subscriber software being installed to the memory system;
• receiving, by the host device and from a first assembler secure appliance, first trace data and a signed command from the first assembler secure appliance to store the first trace data at a secure portion of the memory system, the first trace data comprising a hash of the subscriber software;
• verifying the signed command using a root key of the memory system;
• responsive to verifying the signed command, storing the first trace data at the secure portion of the memory system;
• generating, by the host device, trace-derived data using the first trace data and the memory system identification key;
• sending, by the host device, a subscription request to a subscription server associated with the subscription service, the subscription request comprising the trace-derived data, the subscription server being distinct from the first assembler secure appliance;
• receiving, from the subscription server, subscription data for accessing the subscription service;
• and
• accessing the subscription service using the subscriber software and the subscription data.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising operations stored thereon that, when executed by at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

• receiving subscriber software, by a host device comprising a memory system, the subscriber software for interfacing the host device to a subscription service the subscriber software being installed to the memory system;
• receiving, by the host device and from a first assembler secure appliance, first trace data and a signed command from the first assembler secure appliance to store the first trace data at a secure portion of the memory system, the first trace data comprising a hash of the subscriber software;
• verifying, by the host device, the signed command using a root key of the memory system;
• responsive to verifying the signed command, storing, by the host device, the first trace data at the secure portion of the memory system;
• generating, by the host device, trace-derived data using the first trace data and a memory system identification key associated with a memory system of the host device;
• sending, by the host device, a subscription request to a subscription server associated with the subscription service, the subscription request comprising the trace-derived data, the subscription server being distinct from the first assembler secure appliance;
• receiving, from the subscription server, subscription data for accessing the subscription service;
• and
• accessing the subscription service using the subscriber software and the subscription data.
