1. A method for managing data in a memory subsystem, the method comprising:
providing a memory module having one or more memory devices for storing data and a voltage regulator for controlling voltage levels supplied to the one or more memory devices, wherein the voltage regulator has a first state that permits write and read operations with the one or more memory devices, and a second state where the voltage regulator prevents at least read operations with the one or more memory devices;
storing in read only memory on the voltage regulator an encryption key value;
copying the encryption key value from the read only memory on the voltage regulator to a voltage regulator register;
setting a voltage regulator encryption timer for a period of time; and
transitioning the voltage regulator to the second state in response to the period of time of the voltage regulator encryption timer expiring.
