Abstract

See full text

A method of securely erasing a non-volatile semiconductor mass memory has a plurality of physical memory units assigned either to a first memory area which can be addressed via an interface of the semiconductor mass memory or to a second memory area which cannot be addressed via the interface, and a controller that changes assignment of the memory units to the first memory area and to the second memory area according to an algorithm that produces wear leveling upon receiving a command to overwrite memory units assigned to the first memory area via the interface.
