Abstract
A method of encrypting data on a memory device includes receiving a memory transaction request at an inline encryption engine coupled between a processing core and switch fabric in a system on a chip (SOC). The memory transaction request includes a context component and a data component. The context component is analyzed to determine whether the data component will be stored in an encrypted memory region. If the data component will be stored in an encrypted memory region, the data component is encrypted and communicated to a location in the encrypted memory region. The location is based at least on the context component.
