Abstract
An apparatus includes memory storage and a protection system to protect content of the memory storage. The protection system includes a first key that is held by a process and is associated with application data to be stored in the memory storage; and a second key that is held by an operating system kernel. The protection system also includes a cryptography engine to perform a cryptography function on the data based at least in part on the first and second keys.
