Block hardware encryption TrustZone has long appeared in AMD hybrid processors for enterprise users, which is important information security. Moreover, a similar decision will apply to AMD processors for the built-in appliances. Consequently, the processors with the architecture of Zen desktop and server classes will get encryption function, as soon as the next six months.
WCCFTech has reason to believe that AMD processors with Zen architecture offer not only SHA hardware encryption, and encryption features that are in RAM (SME) and processed by the CPU when working with virtual machines (SEV). The first cut is "Secure Memory Encryption", this feature allows to encrypt data stored in the virtual machine memory. With the spread of non-volatile type of memory problem of protecting information stored in it will acquire the urgency and AMD processors in this sense, far ahead of its competitors. By the way, an integrated memory controller will encrypt the data on 128-bit algorithm AES.
Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) - is a new extension set AMD-V command, which implies the assignment of the data set for each virtual machine running from a few of its own unique label, preventing reading of information by anyone other than the owner directly. Roughly speaking, SEV protects virtual machines in the processing of data within the processor and SME - in finding the data in memory.
It should be understood that these features will be in demand in the server segment and desktop processor family PRO.
