Secure Deletion of Data from Magnetic and Solid-State Memory
Peter Gutmann, University of Auckland
With the use of increasingly sophisticated encryption systems, an attacker wishing to gain access to sensitive data is forced to look elsewhere for information. One avenue of attack is the recovery of supposedly erased data from magnetic media or random-access memory. This paper covers some of the methods available to recover erased date and presents schemes to make this recovery significantly more difficult.
