Abstract
One or more systems and/or techniques are provided for managing a partially encrypted file system, for storage hardware virtualization, and/or for storage management. In example, data may be stored in a partially encrypted file system, where sensitive data is encrypted for security and non-sensitive data is unencrypted, which may mitigate energy usage otherwise used for encrypting non-sensitive data, thus improving battery life. In an example, a storage device may be exposed to applications as a plurality of isolated storage structures where an application is provided data access to an isolated storage structure assigned to the application but not to isolated storage structures assigned to other applications, which may provide hardware level isolation with improved energy efficiency. In an example, a storage management component, configured to provide isolation and encryption, may be integrated into a computing device as an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or a system on a chip (SoC).
