MODIFICATION OF A SEGMENT OF DATA BASED ON AN ENCRYPTION OPERATION

A processing device of a memory sub-system is configured to receive, from a host system, host data to be stored at a memory sub-system in an encrypted form; determine that the host data exceeds a threshold size associated with an encryption operation; separate the host data into a plurality of segments based on the threshold size associated with the encryption operation; determine that a particular segment of the plurality of segments does not satisfy a size requirement of data associated with the encryption operation; modify the particular segment to satisfy the size requirement of data associated with the encryption operation; encrypt each of the plurality of segments based on the encryption operation; and store the encrypted plurality of segments at the memory sub-system.
