Questions and Answers

What is the primary purpose of cryptographic erase?

  • To compress data for efficient storage
  • To enhance data retrieval processes
  • To permanently remove data from a storage device (correct)
  • To create backup copies of stored data
  • Why is it said that recovery of data after a cryptographic erase is nearly impossible?

  • Because cryptographic algorithms overwrite the original data (correct)
  • Because the storage device is reformatted
  • Because specialized software can always recover it
  • Because data is moved to a different storage device
  • What technique does cryptographic erase use to ensure data cannot be recovered?

  • Overwriting data with zeros only
  • Overwriting data with cryptographic keys and algorithms (correct)
  • Physical destruction of the storage device

    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.
