Erasure mechanisms by platform
- Apple (macOS, iOS, iPadOS) — Erase All Content and Settings (EACS), which destroys the per-device encryption keys held in the Secure Enclave. Apple documents EACS compliance with NIST SP 800-88 in the Apple Platform Security Guide.
- Windows — MDM remote wipe via the RemoteWipe CSP. When the disk encryption control is enabled on the device, this destroys the BitLocker key protectors, rendering disk contents cryptographically inaccessible. On devices where the disk encryption control is not active, the wipe performs a factory reset without cryptographic erasure.
- Android — Device Policy Controller factory reset, which destroys the file-based encryption keys held in the hardware-backed keystore (TEE / StrongBox) on Android 10+ devices.
- NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 — Purge
- IEEE 2883-2022 — Purge
