XOR is also great for storing copyrighted works without liability.

a = the bits of some song or movie

b = pure noise

Store c = a^b.

Give b to a friend. Throw away a.

Now both you and your friend have a bit vector of pure noise. Together you can produce the copyrighted work. But nobody is liable.
