Abstract
A hardware implemented system and method of encryption key management may facilitate access to a connected device. In some embodiments, an Input/Output (I/O) controller coupled to a host system may comprise a cryptocontext memory that is only accessible via state machines running on the controller and a key unwrap engine to decrypt wrapped keys associated with commands received from the host system.
