1. A storage device comprising:
at least one non-volatile memory device; and
a memory controller configured to control the at least one non-volatile memory device,
wherein the memory controller includes:
at least one processor configured to control operation of the storage device;
a buffer memory configured to temporarily store data;
an error correcting circuit configured to generate a first error correction code of first data in a write operation and to generate second data using a second error correction code in a read operation;
a cryptographic module configured to generate the first data by encrypting data using an encryption algorithm in the write operation or to decrypt the second data using the encryption algorithm in the read operation, and to perform a data destruction operation in response to a data destruction signal;
a code memory configured to store code data for operating the memory controller;
a host interface circuit configured to provide an interface function with an external device;
a non-volatile memory interface circuit configured to provide an interface function with the at least one non-volatile memory device; and
a wireless power receiver configured to receive wireless power from an external wireless device and to provide the wireless power to the cryptographic module when performing the data destruction operation.
