A mechanism is described for facilitating encryption-free integrity protection of storage data at computing systems according to one embodiment. A method of embodiments of the invention includes receiving a read request, from a software application at a computing device, to perform a read task relating to a first data block of data stored at a storage device coupled to the computing device. The read task may include reading the first data block. The method may further include accessing a first reference cryptographic code at a first metadata cache associated with the first data block, calculating a first new cryptographic code relating to the first data block, comparing the first new cryptographic code with the first reference cryptographic code, and accepting the read request if the first new cryptographic code matches the first reference cryptographic code. The accepting may further include facilitating the read task. |
