Abstract
In some examples, a device includes a memory controller to, during a power-on process of the device: read encrypted data from a nonvolatile memory, decrypt, using a first key, the encrypted data to produce decrypted data, encrypt, using a second key different from the first key produced as part of rekeying, the decrypted data to produce new encrypted data, and write the new encrypted data to the nonvolatile memory. A power-on code is to prevent booting of the device until all data in the nonvolatile memory has been encrypted using the second key.
