That's not what the (machine translated) article is saying. It's saying if you save something unencrypted to an SSD, it can not be reliably deleted. On the other hand, if you use full disk encryption (like Qubes does with LUKS), all the SSD will ever see is encrypted blocks. If the blocks have been encrypted correctly, the inability to reliably delete them is not a problem in most cases. (Exception being if you are concerned about the ability to see that a "linuxy" type operating system has allocated blocks on disk, but not what's in those blocks). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
