  • Publication number: 20230291567
    Abstract: Described herein is a paging technique that can be implemented in any accelerator with attached memory and support for operating on encrypted data when the CPU is not within the trusted compute base (TCB). Memory storing data that is encrypted using hardware physical address (HPA)-based encrypted can be paged out of accelerator device memory by decoupling encryption from the hardware physical address and re-encrypting the data for page-out. Upon page-in, the data is decrypted, the integrity and authenticity of the data is verified, then the data is re-encrypted using HPA-based encryption.
