Abstract
Methods and apparatus that may be utilized in systems to reduce the impact of latency associated with encrypting data on non-encrypted data are provided. Secure and non-secure data may be routed independently. Thus, non-secure data may be forwarded on (e.g., to targeted write buffers), without waiting for previously sent secure data to be encrypted. As a result, non-secure data may be made available for subsequent processing much earlier than in conventional systems utilizing a common data path for both secure and non-secure data.
