**Secure Memory Encryption (SME)** defines a simple and efficient architectural capability for main 
memory encryption.  While memory encryption technologies have been used previously in various 
specialized products and industries, SME is a general purpose mechanism that is flexible, integrated into the 
CPU architecture, scalable from embedded to high-end server workloads, and requires no application 
software modifications.
