Abstract

Host devices present both the host certificate and the pertinent certificate revocation lists to the memory device for authentication so that the memory device need not obtain the list on its own. Processing of the certificate revocation list and searching for the certificate identification may be performed concurrently by the memory device. The certificate revocation lists for authenticating host devices to memory devices may be stored in an unsecured area of the memory device for convenience of users.
