Add wipe method CSEC ITSG-06 #176

Open PartialVolume opened 4 years ago

PartialVolume commented 4 years ago

CSEC ITSG-06 is actually identical to the NAVSO P-5239-26 data sanitization method. It's also similar to DoD 5220.22-M except that it doesn't verify the first two writes like DoD 5220.22-M does.

Method: Pass 1: Writes a one or zero Pass 2: Writes the complement of the previously written character (e.g. one if Pass 1 was zero) Pass 3: Writes a random character and verifies the write

maybe it would be nice to implement NSA 130-1 too

Defined by the National Security Agency, this method uses a 3-pass overwrite: writes a random character, writes another random character and writes a known value. This process is completed by verifying the write.

It's on the list.
