    Study Notes

    Cryptographic Erase

    • Cryptographic erase, often called crypto erase, is a data sanitization method.
    • It permanently removes data from storage devices.
    • Data is overwritten with cryptographic keys and algorithms.
    • This process makes data recovery extremely difficult, even with sophisticated tools.
