Secure Deletions Secure cleaning Security for Windows

Secure Deletions is a security tool that provides the user a secure file deletion method.
Secure Deletions is a security tool that provides the user a secure file deletion method.The encryption and overwrite procedures used during the secure delete process will result in your securely deleted files being impossible to run, see, or locate. The files will simply not exist.

Two methods of encryption are used in the overwrite procedure. The encryption that is part of the Windows operating system is used and a form of encryption known as “AES (Rijndael) secret key encryption” is also used. The “secret key” is a string of characters such as “i=04Rip:}1k>td=!@4gu9N8DW;>%}zxB” that is created and used in the encryption procedure. Titlebar software changes the secret key characters once a month. Old keys are destroyed, so, it is ultimately impossible for files that have been encrypted, using the older keys, to be decrypted.

A third method used in the overwrite procedure overwrites data with a string of numbers such as “22222222” or “44444444”. There is absolutely no chance of decryption. As a result there being no chance of decryption, there is no encryption involved, the data is simply overwritten with a string of number and thereby destroyed.

A detail that is not taken care of in many secure deletions processes is the names of the files and folders. This Secure Deletions program will rename everything. All files and all folders will be renamed to strings of numbers. Before the final removal of a file, or a folder, it will be renamed to a name such as “10000001” or “10000002”. And, any file extension will be removed.

There is another detail that is not taken into consideration during the development stages of most secure delete procedures. The user wants to be certain their data has been destroyed. The user of this Secure Deletions program is given the option of witnessing the overwrite procedures and renaming procedures as they are carried out. The user will be able to see for themselves that their sensitive data has been destroyed to the extent that there is no chance of recovering the data.

In the Secure Deletions program’s options there is a check-box where the user can elect to use a “Secure Deletions” item in the right-click/context menu. If this box is checked, a “Secure Deletions” item will be placed in the context menu. Right-click any folder or file and click on “Secure Deletions” in the context menu that appears and the selected item will be moved to the “Secure Deletions” folder.

The Secure Deletions folder is an encrypted folder located under the user’s profile and can be securely and permanently removed at the user’s convenience using the Secure Deletions program
