Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In one embodiment, a system includes a processor, logic in the processor and/or memory configured to determine a physical position on a magnetic medium that corresponds to an end of encrypted data written over residual unencrypted data, and logic configured to store an indicator of the physical position on at least one of the magnetic medium and a memory coupled thereto. In another embodiment, a method includes determining a physical position on a magnetic medium that corresponds to an end of encrypted data written over residual unencrypted data, storing an indicator of the physical position on at least one of the magnetic medium and a memory coupled thereto.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A system, comprising: a processor; logic integrated with and/or executable by the processor and/or a memory, the logic being configured to: determine a first physical position on a magnetic medium that corresponds to an end of encrypted data, wherein the encrypted data includes: residual encrypted data, and encrypted data written over residual unencrypted data, and wherein the residual unencrypted data is associated with decryption data that has been prev…
