Patent attributes
Methods, systems, and devices for payload validation for a memory system are described. A payload receiver may be a device that includes an array of memory cells configured to store data, and a payload transmitter may be a host of a payload receiver (e.g., a host device) or another device that is in communication with the payload receiver. A payload receiver may be configured to receive an information payload and a signature associated with the information payload. The received signature may be based on the information payload and an identifier of the payload receiver previously provided to the payload transmitter. The payload receiver may generate a signature based on the information payload and the identifier of the payload receiver (e.g., as stored or cached at the payload receiver), and authenticate the information payload based on the received signature and the generated signature.
