The memory controller generates a second encrypted version of the frame key based at least in part on a second process key associated with a second process, wherein the second encrypted version of the frame key is stored in a second memory table associated with the second process, the first process and the second process sharing access to the page frame using the first encrypted version of the frame key and the second encrypted version of the frame key, respectively.
