          Available methods for data erasure at SDR-IT

          Standard Name

          Description

          Air Force System Security Instruction 5020

          Erasure rounds: 2 
          Originally defined by the United States Air Force, this 2-pass overwrite is completed by verifying the write.

          Aperiodic random overwrite/Random

          Erasure rounds: 1
          This process overwrites data with a random, instead of static, pattern. Each sector of the drive will contain different data. This process is completed by verifying the write.

          Blancco SSD Erasure

          Erasure rounds: –
          Blancco’s multi-phase, proprietary SSD erasure approach utilizes all supported SSD security protocols. This innovative method includes multiple random overwrites, firmware level erasure, freeze lock removal and full verification.

          Bruce Schneier’s Algorithm

          Erasure rounds: 7
          This 7-step process, presented by security technologist Bruce Schneier, overwrites using 1s, 0s and a stream of random characters.

          BSI-2011-VS

          Erasure rounds: 4
          This 4-pass system is the original BSI standard defined by the German Federal Office of Information Security.

          BSI-GS

          Erasure rounds: 1 
          Defined by the German Federal Office for Information Security, this process begins by removing hidden drives (HPA/ DCO if existing) and overwriting with aperiodic random data. The next step triggers a firmware based command dependent on the type of drive. The last step is to verify the write.

          BSI-GSE

          Erasure rounds: 2 
          The BSI-GSE adds one extra step to the BSI-GS. After the first overwrite, an additional overwrite with aperiodic random data is added before moving on to the last two steps.

          CESG CPA – Higher Level

          Erasure rounds: 3 
          The UK government’s National Technical Authority for Information Assurance standard is a 3-pass process with a verification after each step.

          Cryptographic Erasure (Crypto Erase)

          Erasure rounds: –
          This method uses the native command to call a cryptographic erasure, which erases the encryption key. While the encrypted data remains on the storage device itself, it is effectively impossible to decrypt, rendering the data unrecoverable. Because this method uses the native commands as defined by the manufacturer, it is only available if supported by the drive being erased.

          DoD 5220.22-M

          Erasure rounds: 3 
          Published by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) in the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (also known as DoD document #5220.22-M), it specified a process of overwriting hard disk drives (HDDs) with patterns of ones and zeros. The process required three secure overwriting passes and verification at the end of the final pass.

          DoD 5220.22-M ECE

          Erasure rounds: 7
          This method is an extended (7-pass) version of the DoD 5220.22-M. It runs the DoD 5220.22-M twice, with an extra pass (DoD 5220.22-M (C) Standard) sandwiched in between.

          Extended Firmware Based Erasure

          Erasure rounds: 3 
          This Blancco-defined standard adds an overwrite as the first step and then follows the standard Firmware Based Erasure, making this a 3-step process.

          Firmware Based Erasure

          Erasure rounds: 2 
          This Blancco-defined standard is a 2-step process triggers a firmware command that is dependent on the drive type. The last step of the process is to verify the write.

          HMG Infosec Standard 5, Higher Standard

          Erasure rounds: 3 
          Used by the British Government, this 3-pass overwrite adds one additional write. Like the baseline standard, this process is completed by verifying the write.

          HMG Infosec Standard 5, Lower Standard

          Erasure rounds: 1 
          Used by the British Government, this 1-pass overwrite consists of writing a zero pattern. This process is completed by verifying the write.

          IEEE 2883-2022 Clear

          Erasure rounds: 0-2 
          Developed by the IEEE Standards Association, IEEE Clear requires the removal/erasure of certain areas (such as hidden areas, depopulated storage elements, or cache zones, if existing). The data is then sanitized (via a firmware-based command or overwritten) and verified.

          IEEE 2883-2022 Purge

          Erasure rounds: 0-2 
          Developed by the IEEE Standards Association, IEEE Purge requires the removal/erasure of certain areas (such as hidden areas, depopulated storage elements, or cache zones, if existing). The data is then sanitized (via a firmware-based command) and verified. 

          National Computer Security Center (NCSC-TG-025)

          Erasure rounds: 3 
          Defined by the US National Security Agency, this 3-pass system includes a verification after each pass of 0s, 1s and a random character.

          Navy Staff Office Publication (NAVSO P-5239-26)

          Erasure rounds: 3 
          Published by the US Navy, this 3-pass system uses a specified character (and its complement) and a random character. The process is completed by verifying the write.

          NIST 800-88 Clear

          Erasure rounds: 0-2 
          The National Institute of Standards and Technology Clear requires the removal of hidden areas (HPA/DCO, if existing). The data is then overwritten and verified.

          NIST 800-88 Purge

          Erasure rounds: 0-2 
          This method requires the removal of hidden areas (HPA/DCO, if existing). A firmware-based command is triggered depending on the type of drive, and the last step is the verify the write.

          NSA 130-1

          Erasure rounds: 3 
          Defined by the National Security Agency, this method uses a 3-pass overwrite: writes a random character, writes another random character and writes a known value. This process is completed by verifying the write.

          OPNAVINST 5239.1A

          Erasure rounds: 3 
          Defined by the US Navy, this process is completed by verifying the write after a 3-pass overwrite—the first a random byte and static overwrite for the last two.
