NAND memory runs faster when the hamming weight of the data is approximately
even between zeroes and ones. You can speed up NAND flash by running the data
through a suitable whitening function.
AES is a great whitening function. If you then go to the extra effort to do key
management, you have security. It's a simple matter of architecture and
programming. :)
