Embodiments described herein include a sensor control device configured for secure over-the-air (OTA) programming. Embodiments include a sensor control device that includes one or more processors, an analyte sensor, a communication module, and a memory. The memory includes a first set of storage blocks that are in a non-programmable state and a second set of blocks that are in a programmable state. The processors are configured to receive, using the communication module, instructions to write marking data to the memory to mark a first storage block from the first set of storage blocks as inaccessible and to write program data to a second storage block from the second set of storage blocks, causing the second storage block to be placed into the non-programmable state. The program data written to the second storage block includes instructions that cause the processors to process analyte data received from the analyte sensor.
