A device for storing data includes a nonvolatile memory and a controller and/or circuitry that randomize original data to be stored in the memory while preserving the size of the original data, that store the original data in the memory, and that, in response to a request for the original data, retrieve, derandomize and export the original data without authenticating the requesting entity. A system for storing data includes a first nonvolatile memory and a processor that similarly stores data in the first nonvolatile memory by executing driver code stored in a second nonvolatile memory. ECC encoding is applied either before or after randomizing; correspondingly, ECC decoding is applied either after or before derandomizing.
