The present invention relates to the data processing field, and in particular, to a data reading method and a memory.
A data reading operation is a most common operation in the data processing field. Generally, a process of the data reading operation is: A data reading device sends a read operation instruction to a data storage unit, and after receiving the read operation instruction, the data storage unit obtains, according to an address carried in the read operation instruction, data corresponding to the address, and returns the data corresponding to the address to the data reading device. According to the foregoing process, the data reading device obtains the data corresponding to the address. However, during the process in which the data reading device performs the foregoing read operation, an attacker obtains the address carried in the read operation instruction and the data corresponding to the address by monitoring a data bus between the data and a controller of the data reading device, and can arbitrarily tamper with the data. Consequently, data is leaked, and data security is seriously threatened.
Embodiments of the present invention provide a data reading method and a memory, so as to help resolve the problem that data is tampered with and leaked during a data reading process.
According to a first aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a data reading method, including:
receiving, by a controller of a memory, a read operation request carrying a first address, where the read operation request is used to instruct the controller to perform a read operation on the first address;
performing, by the controller of the memory, N read operations on the first address, and obtaining N pieces of data read by the N read operations; and
determining, by the controller of the memory, whether the N pieces of data are consistent; and if the controller determines that the N pieces of data are consistent, sending, by the controller, response information used to respond to the read operation request, where the response information includes any one of the N pieces of data. The problem that the data is tampered with is resolved by performing the N read operations on the same address and comparing data read by the N read operations.
In some feasible embodiments, the read operation request is sent by a processor of a first terminal device in which the memory is located, or a second terminal device connected to the first terminal device in which the memory is located.
In some feasible embodiments, between any two consecutive read operations of the N read operations performed by the controller of the memory on the first address, the method further includes: performing, by the controller of the memory, T random read operations, where the T random read operations are read operations respectively performed on T random addresses. The problem that the data is leaked during the reading process is resolved in the foregoing scrambling manner.
In some feasible embodiments, T and the T random addresses are generated by the controller of the memory according to a random number generated by the controller, and any two of the T random addresses are different.
In some feasible embodiments, the controller of the memory discards data obtained by the T random read operations. An operating rate of the controller is improved by discarding the data obtained by the random read operations.
In some feasible embodiments, if the N pieces of data are inconsistent, the memory sends abnormal alarm information used to respond to the read operation request. The problem that the data is tampered with during the reading process is resolved by reporting the abnormal alarm information.
According to a second aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a memory, including:
a receiving module, configured to receive a read operation request carrying a first address, wherein the read operation request is used to instruct the memory to perform a read operation on the first address;
a read operation module, configured to perform N read operations on the first address, and obtain N pieces of data read by the N read operations;
a determining module, configured to determine whether the N pieces of data are consistent; and
a sending module, configured to: when the determining module determines that the N pieces of data are consistent, send response information used to respond to the read operation request, wherein the response information includes any one of the N pieces of data. The problem that the data is tampered with is resolved by performing the N read operations on the same address and comparing data read by the N read operations.
In some feasible embodiments, the read operation request carrying the first address received by the receiving module is sent by a processor of a first terminal device in which the memory is located, or a second terminal device connected to the first terminal device in which the memory is located.
In some feasible embodiments, between any two consecutive read operations of the N read operations performed by the read operation module on the first address, the read operation module is further configured to perform T random read operations, and the T random read operations are read operations respectively performed on T random addresses. The problem that the data is leaked during the reading process is resolved in the foregoing scrambling manner.
In some feasible embodiments, the memory further includes a random number generation module, T and the T random addresses are generated by the read operation module according to a random number generated by the memory, and any two of the T random addresses are different.
In some feasible embodiments, the read operation module discards data obtained by the T random read operations. An operating rate of the controller is improved by discarding the data obtained by the random read operations.
In some feasible embodiments, the sending module is further configured to send abnormal alarm information used to respond to the read operation request if the determining module determines that the N pieces of data are inconsistent. The problem that the data is tampered with during the reading process is resolved by reporting the abnormal alarm information.

S303. The controller of the memory determines whether the N pieces of data are consistent; and if the controller determines that the N pieces of data are consistent, the controller sends response information used to respond to the read operation request, where the response information includes any one of the N pieces of data.
Optionally, a specific implementation for the controller of the foregoing memory to determine whether the N pieces of data are consistent is:
The foregoing controller selects one piece of data from the foregoing N pieces of data, and uses the piece of data as target data; and the foregoing controller compares the foregoing target data with remaining N−1 pieces of data one by one.

Between any two consecutive read operations of the N read operations performed on the first address, the controller performs T random read operations, where the T random read operations are the read operations respectively performed on T random addresses. Multiple read operations are performed on one address, and when obtained multiple pieces of data are consistent, it is determined that data corresponding to the address is not tampered with. This helps resolve the problem that data is tampered with during a reading process. Between any two of the multiple read operations performed on the address, multiple read operations are performed on the random address, and use of this scrambling manner helps resolve the problem that data is tampered with.
