Re: Encryption as a accepted mean of sanitization

The absence of disapproval for one issue does not automatically imply approval of the opposite issue.

As stated by others, encryption is NOT a good way to "destory" data because the data is still there and could be 
cracked and recovery at a later date. It is pretty simple. 

Therefore, I would assume they do not support encryption for this purpose. Of course you knew that because they already 
told you that. ;) 

If you are wondering why they removed the paragraph, then I am only assume they removed it because the idea is simple 
and shouldn't even be talked about. lol
