Abstract
In a memory module, encryption information is received from an external source and stored exclusively within a non-persistent storage element such that the encryption information is expunged from the memory module upon power loss. Write data is received and encrypted using the encryption information stored within the non-persistent storage element to produce encrypted data which is stored, in turn, within a nonvolatile storage of the memory module.
