Abstract

An apparatus and method for fast and stable information storage is provided that employs a data storage apparatus having a series of non-volatile memory banks that are externally addressable and have selective write and read controls. Access to the memory banks is provided via hardware access protection mechanisms to ensure that any access to the memory banks is verified by means of an access key. Software access protection is also provided if two separate processors share a common memory bank.
