The WIPERAPP software is fully compliant with the Purge and Clear standards described in the NIST 800-88 rev.1 (December 2014) document, which is the newest international standard for data erasure.
WIPERAPP supports Purge methods like: Security Enhanced Erase, Block Erase, Crypto Scramble Erase
Additionally, WIPERAPP supports overwrite methods created 25 years ago (last updated in year 2006):
- U.S. National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (DoD 5220.22-M) (3 passes: random, complement, random)
- U.S. DoD Unclassified Computer Hard Drive Disposition (18 passes: 6x (random, complement, random))
- U.S. Navy Staff Office Publication NAVSO P-5239-26 (3 passes: random, complement, random)
- U.S. Air Force System Security Instruction 5020 (3 passes: 0x00, 0xFF, random)
- British HMG Infosec Standard 5, Baseline Standard (2 passes: 0x00, random)
- British HMG Infosec Standard 5, Enhanced Standard (3 passes: 0x00, 0xFF, random)
- Bruce Schneier’s Algorithm (7 passes: 0xFF, 0x00, random, random, random, random, random)
- German Federal Office for Information Security (4 passes: random, complement, random, complement)
- Communications Security Establishment Canada ITSG-06 (3 passes: 0xFF, complement, randoms)
randoms - pseudo-random 8 characters string
random - random number from 0x00 to 0xFF range
complement - binary negation of previous pass number
complements - binary negation of previous pass string
Operator also can select custom media overwrite method, select number of passes (1-16 passes) and overwrite pattern (0x00, 0xFF, random)
