seems unnecessary with encryption
SketchySeaBeast•6mo ago
You know, sometimes security through obscurity works. If you can't find all the pieces you certainly aren't going to retrieve their data.
dafelst•6mo ago
You can be compelled to give up encryption passphrases, either through legal process or by force. If that data is irrecovably and provably erased, that is no longer an avenue for access.
beeflet•6mo ago
put part of the symmetric encryption key in volatile memory
pepa65•6mo ago
Just flash/flush the embedded encryption key, the SSD remains usable with a/the new encryption key. This just seems like a way to increase sales...

ATA_REQUEST_THERMITE_RELEASE

ATA_POLL_THERMITE_RELEASED // always returns 0. Assume 1 if timeout

MarkusWandel•6mo ago
If smartphones can wipe themselves irrecoverably on factory reset by simply throwing away the storage encryption key, why not do the same thing and avoid all the trouble? Surely erasing 512 bits or so, irrecoverably, can be done quickly.
mrheosuper•6mo ago
What if Quantum computer is actually possible ?
MattPalmer1086•6mo ago
Symmetric encryption, used for data storage only loses about half its key strength to a quantum computer, due to Grover's algorithm.

So if you are using a 256 bit key you're still fine. Even a 128 bit key would still have 64 bit strength, which would still be a huge amount of work to crack, even though theoretically possible.

DevelopingElk•6mo ago
Flash chips, unlike hard drives, are highly reliant on their controllers. If you hit it with a hammer the data is unrecoverable. No need for a voltage zap.
