Methods and apparatus to facilitate access control in memory

Abstract

Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are described to facilitate access control in memory. An example method includes accessing state values stored in non-volatile memory, the state values corresponding to a state of the non-volatile memory; responsive to obtaining a request to enter a diagnostic mode, authenticating credentials corresponding to the request; determining the state of the non-volatile memory based on the state values; and determining whether to permit or prohibit access to the non-volatile memory based on the determined state.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
