Abstract
The following description is directed to the use of encryption by a computing system. In one example, a method can include determining whether information associated with a logical address is stored unencrypted within an on-chip memory of an integrated circuit or whether the information associated with the logical address is stored encrypted within an off-chip memory external to the integrated circuit. When the information is not stored unencrypted within the on-chip memory and is stored encrypted within the off-chip memory: a page associated with the logical address can be retrieved from the off-chip memory containing the encrypted information; the retrieved page can be decrypted to generate unencrypted information; and the unencrypted information can be stored in a frame of the on-chip memory.
