AFSSI-5020

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

AFSSI-5020 is the USAF Cryptologic Support Center's version of the DOD 5220.22-M purging standard. This deletion method first overwrites the target data area with the fixed value (0x00), then with the fixed value (0xff), and then with a randomly selected constant. Finally, at least 10% of the drive is read to verify the overwrites.
