Trusted Computing Group: Work Group to Develop Standards and Specs for Persistent Memory

To prevent data theft and attacks, especially in data centers  

Trusted Computing Group announced at the Flash Memory Summit a new work group to develop industry standards and specifications for persistent memory to prevent data theft and attacks, especially in data centers.  

TCG previously has developed widely adopted standards for self-encrypting drives, or SEDs, that are used in almost all new SSDs and enterprise storage devices, as well as in most HDDs and many USB drives.

Persistent memory, storage class memory, and NVDIMMs are emerging technologies that create new concerns about the security of data at rest. Without security protections, data stored in these devices can be vulnerable to various attacks and require support for instant erase, for example. As it has with its SED standards for storage, TCG will work with related memory technology groups to ensure integration of the TCG specifications with other standardization activities related to persistent memory, storage class memory and NVDIMMs.

We are excited to announce the TCG Persistent Memory Work Group to bring greater security to these new memory architectures and designs. Familiar security risks are faced by the nonvolatile elements, and we plan to address those issues through a standards-based approach, which will benefit developers, users and customers of the technology,” said TCG executive director Mark Schiller.  

TCG members Drive Trust Alliance, Micron and ULink will demonstrate self-encrypting storage in enterprise, client and IoT applications in the showcase area of the exhibit floor.

Member experts also will participate in sessions addressing encryption and related applications:

  • Session 103-A: Security in a Flash! (Security Track)
  • Session 104-A: Privacy Versus (In)security: Who Should Win and Why Between Apple and the FBI? Members also can discuss TCG membership benefits.
