Cryptographic Erase
A cryptographic erase securely deletes all data on the Lyve Mobile device while keeping your device settings intact.
Data deleted during a cryptographic erase cannot be recovered.
To securely erase your Lyve Mobile device, Lyve Client accesses all data on individual drives. The RAID must be recreated after the crypto-erase is complete.
Recreating the RAID requires an initialization that can take over 24 hours if the Lyve device is not in use.
Recreating the RAID requires an initialization that can take over 24 hours if the device is not in use. You can use your device during the initialization but performance will be degraded until it is complete.
Using the device during an initialization will increase the time for it to complete. To avoid delays in completing the initialization, make certain that the host computer does not go to sleep until it is complete. If the computer goes to sleep, the initialization will be paused until it wakes up.
Initiating the erasure
- Click on the Devices tab.
- Hover your cursor over a device card and click on the Inspect icon.
- On the Cryptographic Erase card, click on the Erase icon.
- Click Confirm to confirm the cryptographic erase.
- Click Erase all data to proceed with the operation.
- When the process has completed, click Certify to view a certificate with the details of the erasure.
