1. A media processing device comprising:
a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code; and
a processing device programmed to execute the code to:
determine whether a media processing instruction includes a non-sensitive command or a data protection command;
in response to the non-sensitive command, the processing device executes the non-sensitive command to perform a function; and
in response to the data protection command, the processing device modifies the function to provide protection to the data.
