Default AMD/ZEN Memory Encryption and VM encryption.

This guy writes something interesting:

Seems to me that both this approach and Intel SGX utilize key generators
inside the CPU.

That makes it possible to hand the government the keys to secure enclaves or
whatever you want to call it, and as the user you'd never know that a
backdoor software is successfully decrypting your data.

So to people who don't care if their baking recipes are encrypted in memory,
but would like their communications and other identifying data to be safe
from governments, it seems to have holes."
