1. The
Peter Gutmann algorithm
The file is overwritten
35 times by defined rules. This is many times more secure
than the NSA file shredding standards. It takes into consideration the type
of magnetic encoding the drive uses and uses specific algorithms to remove
any trace of magnetic reminiscence from which files may be reconstituted.
2. NSA
algorithm described in quot;National Industrial Security Program Operating
Manual quot; US DoD 5220.22-M
Data will be overwritten
7 times by predefined rules, TachyonWipe also supports a faster method which
still abides by these rules but where data is overwritten only 3 times.
3.
Random data overwrite algorithm
For super-fast
wiping of files beyond normal software recovery! This means that you will
not be able to undelete files using software programs, but a government institution
