The Intel® SGX Memory Encryption Engine
an autonomous hardware unit called the Memory Encryption Engine (MEE), whose role is to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and freshness of the CPU-DRAM traffic over some memory range.
It is an extension of the memory controller that on-the-fly encrypts/decrypts the data going to and from a range of the DRAM called the processor reserved memory. [1].
