Abstract
The preferred embodiments described herein provide a solid-state memory device storing program code and methods for use therewith. In one preferred embodiment, a solid-state memory device storing program code is provided that enables a host device to read data from or store data to the solid-state memory device. In another preferred embodiment, a solid-state memory device storing an identifier and encrypted program code is provided. When the solid-state memory device is connected to a host device, the host device decrypts the encrypted program code using the identifier. In another preferred embodiment, program code stored in a solid-state memory device is provided to a host device, and the program code allows the host device to store data only in the solid-state memory device. In another preferred embodiment, a method for distributing program code is provided. In this method, program code is stored in a solid-state memory device comprising a three-dimensional array of memory cells, and the solid-state memory device storing the program code is then distributed.
