Linux 5.12 Adds eMMC Inline Encryption For Better Performance, Lower Power Use


Thanks to Google engineers the Linux 5.12 kernel is providing punctual support for eMMC inline encryption that is being ratified with a forthcoming specification update and already being found within some mobile hardware.
Inline encryption for eMMC is able to enhance the storage encryption performance while also being more power efficient. This eMMC support builds off the existing Linux kernel FSCRYPT support around inline encryption. UFS support for inline encryption was upstreamed in Linux 5.9 as well while now the eMMC support is ready to make its premiere.
