    Abstract: A cryptographic hash based on content of a Sideband Bus Device (SPD) Hub and serial number identifiers for components on a memory module is provided. The cryptographic hash provides the ability to mitigate various supply chain attacks by binding the SPD Hub content to a memory module certificate that is used for authentication. Based on the cryptographic signatures, a certificate is trusted by the platform so the binding of the SPD hub content to the memory module certificate creates a secure way to ensure the components on the memory module have not been tampered with and that the reported attributes of the memory module are correct.

    Abstract: A memory subsystem includes link encryption for the system memory data bus. The memory controller can provide encryption for data at rest and link protection. The memory controller can optionally provide link encryption. Thus, the system can provide link protection for the data in transit. The memory module can include a link decryption engine that can decrypt link encryption if it is used, and performs a link integrity check with a link integrity tag associated with the link protection. The memory devices can then store the encrypted protected data and ECC data from the link decryption engine after link protection verification.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus includes: an integrity circuit to receive data and generate a protection code based at least in part on the data; a cryptographic circuit coupled to the integrity circuit to encrypt the data into encrypted data and encrypt the protection code into an encrypted protection code; a message authentication code (MAC) circuit coupled to the cryptographic circuit to compute a MAC comprising a tag using header information, the encrypted data, and the encrypted protection code; and an output circuit to send the header information, the encrypted data, and the tag to a receiver via a link. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and circuitries are disclosed for a per-process memory encryption system. At least one translation lookaside buffer (TLB) is configured to encode key identifiers for keys in one or more bits of either the virtual memory address or the physical address. The process state memory configured to store a first process key table for a first process that maps key identifiers to unique keys and a second process key table that maps the key identifiers to different unique keys. The active process key table memory configured to store an active key table. In response to a request for data corresponding to a virtual memory address, the at least one TLB is configured to provide a key identifier for the data to the active process key table to cause the active process key table to return the unique key mapped to the key identifier.
