Greetings,


I like the option to have the application "File Shedder" included in BDTS 2019.  However, before I commit to BDTS as the solution to my


needs,  I would like more information on which standard  was implemented.


There are many methods to wipe data, are you using any of these:>>


Gutmann

DoD 5220.22-M

AFSSI-5020

AR 380-19

RCMP TSSIT OPS-II

HMG IS5

VSITR

GOST R 50739-95

Schneier

Random Data

First/Last 16KB Erasure


Thank you.

    Hello Joedit,


    File shredder will perform three passes on the deleted file: once with zero data, once with 0xff and once with a random value. After the random value overwrite is complete, the disk is read to verify the overwrites.
