Abstract

Methods, systems, and use cases for one-touch inline cryptographic data security are discussed, including an edge computing device with a network communications circuitry (NCC), an enhanced DMA engine coupled to a memory device and including a cryptographic engine, and processing circuitry configured to perform a secure exchange with a second edge computing device to negotiate a shared symmetric encryption key, based on a request for data. An inline encryption command for communication to the enhanced DMA engine is generated. The inline encryption command includes a first address associated with a storage location storing the data, a second address associated with a memory location in the memory device, and the shared symmetric encryption key. The data is retrieved from the storage location using the first address, the data is encrypted using the shared symmetric encryption key, and the encrypted data is stored in the memory location using the second address.
