Abstract:
The present disclosure is related to encryption of executables in computational memory. Computational memory can traverse an operating system page table in the computational memory for a page marked as executable. In response to finding a page marked as executable, the computational memory can determine whether the page marked as executable has been encrypted. In response to determining that the page marked as executable is not encrypted, the computational memory can generate a key for the page marked as executable. The computational memory can encrypt the page marked as executable using the key.
