Zusammenfassung:Flash technology is prone to theft, since hackers can use voltage contrast or other scanning techniques to read the content of a flash memory. But certain OTP memory technologies are extremely resistant to unauthorized access, making them ideal for DRM key storage. If the OTP memory is field-programmable, which eliminates ROM or fuses as viable technology candidates, the OEM vendor can set security keys prior to sale, or they may even be set afterward.
