Provided is a memory device in which the decrease of the effective bandwidth caused by the refresh operation of the memory device has been solved, a memory controller of the memory device, and a memory system thereof. A memory device that is operated in response to a command from a memory controller (82) has a plurality of banks that respectively have memory cores (92) including memory cell arrays and decoders and are selected by bank addresses; and a control circuit, which controls operation of the memory cell arrays within the banks, wherein each of the plurality of banks stores two-dimensionally arrayed data on the basis of a memory mapping of which a memory logical space has a plurality of page areas that are selected by the bank addresses and row addresses, in which the plurality of page areas are arranged in rows and columns, and in which adjacent page areas are associated with different bank addresses, and during a period of horizontal access in which the two-dimensionally arrayed data is accessed horizontally, the control circuit causes the memory cores (92) within banks selected by the bank addresses to execute normal memory operation corresponding to a normal operation command in response to the normal operation command corresponding to the horizontal access, and further causes a memory core (92) within a refresh target bank other than the horizontal access target bank to execute refresh operation in response to a background refresh command.

Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for protecting data on a storage medium by encrypting the data to be recorded on the storage medium with a password. This method comprises a step of, generating, for changing key data on each memory unit by one password, the key data, thereafter encrypting the key data with the password and writing the encrypted data to the storage medium, and a step of encrypting the data with the key data and encrypted data to the storage medium. The method further comprises a step of reading the encrypted key data from the storage medium, a step of decoding the encrypted key data with the password, and a step of decoding the data on the storage medium with the decoded key data. The encryption is done by using the key data generated separately from the password, and it is therefore feasible to prevent the password from being analyzed by decoding a cipher text.
