Abstract
Embodiments include methods, apparatus, and systems for storage device data encryption. One method includes encrypting data on a storage device with a key and then transmitting the key to a cryptographic module that encrypts the key to form a Binary Large Object (BLOB). The BLOB is transmitted to an array controller that is coupled to the storage device which stores the BLOB.
