An OLED degradation compensation system includes a display system having an OLED display device. A computing device is coupled to the display system and includes an OLED display device adjustment database storing an OLED table that is associated with a usage time of the OLED display device and that includes OLED compensation information that is based upon the usage time. An OLED display device use tracking engine in the computing system determines usage data for the OLED display device. An OLED display device adjustment engine in the computing system retrieves the usage data determined by the OLED display device use tracking engine, uses the usage data to select the OLED table in response to the usage data corresponding to the usage time associated with the OLED table, and causes at least one OLED in the OLED display device to be powered using the OLED compensation information in the OLED table.

Systems and methods for reducing problems and disadvantages associated with traditional approaches to encryption and decryption of data are provided. An information handling system may include a processor, a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, and a computer-readable medium communicatively coupled to the processor. The computer-readable medium may have instructions stored thereon, the instructions configured to, when executed by the processor: (i) receive a generalized command from an application of an information handling system, the generalized command including an encryption or decryption task; (ii) convert the generalized command into a format recognizable by an encryption accelerator; (iii) provide the generalized command to the encryption accelerator in the format recognizable by the encryption accelerator; and (iv) instruct a cryptoprocessor to provide an encryption key for use in connection with the generalized command, the encryption key is unique to a storage resource, the encryption key further based on a security policy, wherein the security policy defines whether an encryption or decryption task is to be executed based on one or more of: a user logged into the information handling system, characteristics of the storage resource, or characteristics regarding a directory path of data to be written or read.

Systems and methods for reducing problems and disadvantages associated with traditional approaches to encryption and decryption of data are provided. An information handling system may include a processor, a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, and an encryption accelerator communicatively coupled to the processor. The encryption accelerator may be configured to encrypt and decrypt information in accordance with a plurality of cryptographic functions, receive a command from the processor to perform an encryption or decryption task upon data associated with an input/output operation, and in response to receiving the command, encrypt or decrypt the data associated with the input/output operation based on a particular one of the plurality of cryptographic functions.

System and method for general purpose encryption of data

Systems and methods for reducing problems and disadvantages associated with traditional approaches to encryption and decryption of data are provided. A method for encryption and decryption of data, may include encrypting or decrypting data associated with an input/output operation based on at least one of an encryption key and a cryptographic function, wherein at least one of the encryption key and the cryptographic function are selected based on one or more characteristics associated with the data to be encrypted or decrypted. Another method may include encrypting an item of data based on at least one of a first-layer encryption key and a first-layer cryptographic function to produce first-layer encrypted data and encrypting the first-layer encrypted data based on at least one of a second-layer encryption key and a second-layer cryptographic function to produce second-layer encrypted data.

An information handling system may include a processor, a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, and a computer-readable medium communicatively coupled to the processor. The computer-readable medium may have instructions stored thereon, the instructions configured to, when executed by the processor: (i) periodically store, during an encryption or decryption operation performed on the computer-readable medium, one or more variables indicative of an encryption status of a volume of the computer-readable medium; (ii) determine, based on the one or more variables, whether the volume is in a partially encrypted or decrypted state; and (iii) in response to a determination that the volume is in a partially encrypted or decrypted state, boot from the volume and continue the encryption or decryption operation.
