Detecting a cryogenic attack on a memory device with embedded error correction

A computer program product for detecting and responding to a cryogenic attack on a dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) device, the computer program product comprising:

• one or more computer readable storage media and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions comprising:
• program instructions to receive a set of memory information about a DRAM device;
• program instructions to process, using a set of decision parameters, the set of memory information to determine a set of error indicators;
• program instructions to determine whether the set of error indicators match an attack syndrome;
• and
• program instructions to disable, in response to determining that the set of error indicators match the attack syndrome, access to the DRAM device.

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) control logic, wherein the DRAM control logic causes the memory to:
• receive a set of memory information about a DRAM device;
• process, using a set of decision parameters, the set of memory information to determine a set of error indicators;
• determine whether the set of error indicators match an attack syndrome;
• and
• disable, in response to determining that the set of error indicators match the attack syndrome, access to the DRAM device.
