Abstract:
A memory, system, and method for providing security for data stored within a memory and arranged within a plurality of memory regions. The method includes receiving an address within a selected memory region and using the address to access an encryption indicator. The encryption indicator indicates whether data stored in the selected memory page are encrypted. The method also includes receiving a block of data from the selected memory region and the encryption indicator and decrypting the block of data dependent upon the encryption indicator.
