Some Z790 motherboard makers add Total Memory Encryption (MTE) option in their latest BIOS releases. It is supposed to encrypt system memory to mitigate cold boot attack risks.
How do I know that it works? Microsoft documents about it focus on the "Multi-Key" aspect of this feature meant for VM's, but what about non-VM usage? Aside from dumping my own systen memory content to run an analysis, how do I verify whether my system memory is encrypted when I enable MTE in BIOS?
