Abstract
Systems and methods are described for encrypting a swap file in a computer system. The swap file can be encrypted by a background process executing on the computer system. Processing of paging swapping operations occurs independently and separately of the background encryption of the swap file. Processing a page swapping operation can include decrypting or encrypting data to be swapped involved in the paging operation depending on the paging operation and whether or not the data to be swapped is encrypted or not.
