How does Blancco's patented SSD erasure work? [closed]












-2














Securely wiping SSDs is a very different situation to wiping standard mechanical hard drives, with simply zeroing the drive being ineffective, and the Secure Erase firmware-level tool that should solve this problem being shown to suffer from faulty implementations.



Against this background, Swedish data erasure and security company Blancco owns a patent that claims to be able to wipe any SSD drive securely and definitively, irrespective of manufacturer.



The relevant Google Patents entry (for the US filings, but it also links to European, Japanese and global versions) seems to detail exactly how the technology works, but I don't have the time, technical knowledge or experience at reading legalese required to decode it.
