Design and Development of an Integrated Secure Data Erasure and Advanced File Recovery Tool for Digital Forensics and Data Sanitization

Source summary

Build an integrated platform with three distinct modules: whole-drive sanitisation, selective file/folder erasure and forensic file carving/recovery. Support multiple storage media, filesystems and operating systems, including damaged/formatted media and fragmented files without metadata. Include verification, confidence/classification, evidence integrity, audit logs, tamper-resistant reports and an accessible GUI. Deliver tests, manuals, technical documentation and performance evidence; recovery and destruction guarantees must be demonstrated for the relevant media.
