Zeroization: Wiping Keys, Not Data

Zeroization isn't deleting files or formatting a drive — it's the deliberate, irreversible destruction of key material, leaving ciphertext computationally useless. This episode unpacks the verification paradox at its core: a wipe is only trustworthy if you can't confirm it happened, and only useful if you can. From tamper-responsive HSMs with drill-detecting mesh enclosures to drones running dead-man wipe logic, down to the MDM-managed laptop your employer handed you, we trace the same design tension through every scale.
