What is the scientific basis behind O&O SafeErase?
O&O SafeErase draws upon a wealth of scientific knowledge to provide the most secure methods of file deletion. Our medium security level is based on the recommendations of the BSI (German Computer Security Agency), our high level on the standards of the US National Security Agency, and our highest level on the work of scientist Peter Gutmann’s article “Secure Deletion of Data from Magnetic and Solid-State Memory”. Our highest level, which is set by default, thereby exceeds the recommendation of the German and US governments.
