Methods, systems, and devices for multi-factor authentication for memory systems based on internal asymmetric keys are described. In some examples, host systems and memory systems may be configured to implement techniques for the generation and distribution of asymmetric keys, certificates, or both, which may support evaluating the authenticity of interfacing systems (e.g., by signing and verifying exchanged signaling based on system identities) or protecting the integrity of exchanged signaling (e.g., by encrypting exchanged signaling), or both. Such techniques may include implementing asymmetric cryptographic security functionality directly in a memory system, including techniques where the memory system is configured to generate asymmetric key pairs, certificates, or both based on a combination of unique device secret and content stored at the memory system.
