Study Notes
Cryptographic Erase
- Cryptographic erase, or crypto erase, is a method used to permanently remove data from storage devices, like hard drives and SSDs.
- The process overwrites the data with cryptographic keys and algorithms, making it extremely difficult to recover even with advanced tools.
- This method ensures data is truly erased, as opposed to simply deleting files that can be recovered using data recovery software.
