Paper Title: Erasure verification on flash memory-Is the data really gone?

Paper Abstract: When it's time to move on from a flash storage device, whether it's due to device failure or a standard hardware upgrade, of course you erase the data from that device before disposing of it or repurposing it. But what if some of that data is still there at a deeper level? What might happen if customer data, intellectual property or other sensitive data ended up in the wrong hands? We will paint the picture of the difference between a Level 1 erasure verification versus a Level 2 and why it matters to clients that want to be sure that data is erased.
