A key element of the "Destroy" phase of the Data Security Lifecycle is:
In the 'Destroy' phase of the Data Security Lifecycle, a key element is Crypto-Shredding. Crypto-Shredding involves securely deleting sensitive data by destroying the cryptographic keys used to encrypt the data. This ensures that the data remains unreadable and unrecoverable without the corresponding keys. This approach specifically addresses the challenge of ensuring that previously encrypted data cannot be accessed after the keys are destroyed.
5.1.2 The Data Security Lifecycle Destroy. Data is permanently destroyed using physical or digital means (e.g., cryptoshredding).
B. Crypto-Shredding In the "Destroy" phase of the Data Security Lifecycle, a key element is "Crypto-Shredding." Crypto-shredding involves securely deleting sensitive data by destroying the cryptographic keys used to encrypt the data. This ensures that even if the encrypted data is retained, it remains unreadable and unrecoverable without the corresponding keys. The other options (A, C, D, E) might be relevant in the broader context of data security, but they are not specifically associated with the "Destroy" phase and the concept of securely removing data.
