Abstract
Methods and apparatus relating to a Converged Cryptographic Engine (CCE) for storage encryption are described. In an embodiment, decode circuitry decodes an instruction to determine whether Converged Cryptographic Engine (CCE) circuitry is enabled. Execution circuitry executes the instruction to program a plurality of keys in response to the CCE circuitry being enabled. The CCE circuitry performs all encryption and all decryption of data to be transferred between a memory and a storage device based at least in part on at least one of the plurality of keys. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
