Scrambling stored files effectively can be done by discarding encryption keys used to secure the data. Is this statement correct?
False
True
Crypto-shredding is a data sanitization method where encrypted data is rendered inaccessible by securely discarding its encryption keys. Without the key, the ciphertext cannot be decrypted, effectively "destroying" the data. This method is compliant with standards like NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 and avoids the complications of overwriting or physically destroying hardware, especially in cloud and virtual environments.
