Abstract:
An example storage medium is described, wherein the storage medium comprises instructions that, when executed cause a processor of an electronic device to store a private key in a first memory of the electronic device. The controller also stores an encrypted version of a password and validity information defining a condition to the password's validity in a second memory of the electronic device. During a boot process of the electronic device, the controller may detect a failure to decrypt data stored in a third memory and, upon this detection, decrypt the encrypted version of the password using the private key, and determine, using the validity information, whether the password is valid. If the password is valid, the controller may input the decrypted password to a decryption service, wherein the decryption service is to decrypt the data stored in the third memory.
