Abstract

An apparatus to facilitate security of a shared memory resource is disclosed. The apparatus includes a memory device to store memory data, wherein the memory device comprises a plurality of private memory pages associated with one or more trusted domains and a cryptographic engine to encrypt and decrypt the memory data, including a key encryption table having a key identifier associated with each trusted domain to access a private memory page, wherein a first key identifier is generated to perform direct memory access (DMA) transfers for each of a plurality of input/output (I/O) devices.
