Re: DISK Sanitizer Help

[Mark D <mdlkml@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've read that some people think that because the math behind AES is so 
simple that there are inherent weaknesses.  You don't know if quantum 
computing will take off. Who knows what the future holds for computing.  
Simply saying "hey here is my encrypted harddrive with financial 
secrets" is not a wager I'd ever be willing to make.  Plus sidechannel 
attacks are getting more and more interesting every day.

Strong crypto is a security layer.  Security is only layers and is not 
and can not be considered definitive.  Nothing is definitive other than 
total destruction.

The disks *really* need to be wiped (several times) before your 
respective A's are covered.

Thanks,
Mark
