Abstract
According to one example, a method performed by a computing system includes determining that a size of key data to be stored within a kernel memory is greater than a threshold value. The threshold value is based on a size value associated with maintaining the key data outside of the kernel memory. The method further includes allocating a block of memory within a volatile memory store, the block of memory being outside the kernel memory, storing the key data within the block of memory, and storing, within the kernel memory, a pointer to the key data.
