Patent number: 12008087Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to maintaining device security associated with reduced power modes. In some embodiments, a computing device receives a request to place the computing device in a reduced power mode in which a first memory of the computing device is powered off. Based on the request, the computing device offloads a memory page from the first memory to a second memory such that the offloading includes encrypting the memory page. Based on a request to resume from the reduced power mode, the computing device restores the memory page from the second memory to the first memory such that the restoring includes decrypting the encrypted memory page. After initiating the restoring, the computing device presents a user authentication prompt asking for a user credential.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2021Date of Patent: June 11, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Alan M.
