Abstract
Disclosed is a method and apparatus to decrypt file segments in parallel. In one embodiment, an integrated circuit may be used with a storage device of a computing device that comprises: a hardware interface to communicate with the storage device; a crypto-engine to encrypt file segments to be stored on the storage device and to decrypt file segments read from the storage device; and a processor. The processor may be configured to: read a plurality of decrypted file segments from the storage device through the crypto-engine in parallel; and to store the plurality of decrypted file segments.
