Too bad, it would be interesting to have an open memory interface standard.

Hard drives already have closed firmware, right? At least, disk
encryption can protect against malicious drive firmware, I guess.

Would some form of CPU-based RAM encryption help? That way, you don't
have to trust the memory. You could also just encrypt an ECC, so you are
at least protected against malicious bit-flips. It wouldn't protect
against side-channels, though.

It is worthy of a research project, I guess.
