Methods, apparatus, and computer code for effecting flash policy
configuration operations in accordance with an end-user identifier and/or
a host-instance identifier are disclosed herein. Exemplary flash policy
configuration operations include (i) configuring a flash error-correction
policy, (ii) configuring a flash-management table storage policy; (iii)
configuring a wear-leveling policy; (iv) configuring a bad-block
management policy and (v) configuring a flash-programming voltage
parameter. Exemplary end-user identifiers include but are not limited to
email account identifiers, logon user names, and International Mobile
Subscriber Identities (IMSI). Exemplary host-instance identifiers may
include but are not limited to International Mobile EQUIPMENT Identifiers
(IMEI). Optionally, the flash policy configuration is contingent on
authentication context data--for example, strength of the authentication
(e.g. login/password vs. smartcard authentication or biometric
authentication), date of the authentication, and identity provider
information.
