Abstract
An approach for extending encryption to input/output (I/O) on Peripheral Component Interconnect express (PCIe) links. The approach receives a proposal list of available encryption mechanisms. The approach selects an encryption mechanism from the proposal list, the encryption mechanism performs the encryption without encryption services from an associated Host Bus Adapter (HBA). The approach directs the I/O to the encryption mechanism.
