Abstract
An example method for execution on a system on a chip (SoC) having a plurality of subsystems includes receiving, by a storage controller from a subsystem of the plurality of subsystems, a command to fetch, from a local memory, task descriptor data comprising access parameters for accessing a storage device, the access parameters including a storage device address; obtaining, by an encryption engine of the SoC, the command to fetch the task descriptor data; determining, by the encryption engine based on an access rule, whether the subsystem has sufficient privilege to access the storage device address; in response to determining that the subsystem has sufficient privilege to access the storage device, encrypting, source data in the local memory according to an encryption key associated with the subsystem; and providing the encrypted source data to the storage controller for writing to the storage device at the storage device address.
