Overview:

Achievement of reliable storage for data consumes a tremendous amount of time and energy. The problem of permanently deleting data is not as simple as it appears. This paper discusses the motivations for preventing data recovery; how data can be recovered; and how data can be deleted or destroyed in such a way as to make recovery impossible. A wide variety of data is committed to digital storage, some of great value and other trivial. This data includes criminal records in justice departments, medical records at hospitals, mental health information, military secrets, and innumerable other data, distributed across countless systems. In most cases, concerns about private data are limited to preserving it, accessing it, and securing it against unauthorized access.
