    Abstract: In embodiments detailed herein describe an encryption architecture with fast zero support (e.g., FZ-MKTME) to allow memory encryption and integrity architecture to work efficiently with 3DXP or other far memory memories. In particular, an encryption engine for the purpose of fast zeroing in the far memory controller is detailed along with mechanisms for consistent key programming of this engine. For example, an instruction is detailed which allows software to send keys protected even when the controller is located outside of a system on a chip (SoC), etc.

    Abstract: Implementations describe providing secure encryption key management in trust domains. In one implementation, a processing device includes a key ownership table (KOT) that is protected against software access. The processing device further includes a processing core to execute a trust domain resource manager (TDRM) to create a trust domain (TD) and a randomly-generated encryption key corresponding to the TD, the randomly-generated encryption key identified by a guest key identifier (GKID) and protected against software access from at least one of the TDRM or other TDs, the TDRM is to reference the KOT to obtain at least one unassigned host key identifier (HKID) utilized to encrypt a TD memory, the TDRM is to assign the HKID to the TD by marking the HKID in the KOT as assigned, and configure the randomly-generated encryption key on the processing device by associating the randomly-generated encryption key with the HKID.
