Verschlusssachen-IT-Richtlinien (VSITR)
Security
Created by the German Federal Office for IT, the Verschlusssachen-IT-Richtlinien
(VSITR) alogrithm involves overwriting data on a device seven times - each of the
first six times reversing the order of the bit pattern used. This results in a destabilisation
of any data remaining on the storage device. The final pass then overwrites the
entire storage device with the pattern '01010101', increasing it's security. This
method can be considered a suitably secure erasure method.
Time
This method will take a similar time to the DOD-5220 method
