ProtectStar Secure Deletion Algorithm (50 cycles)
At first, all data will be overwritten for two times with a random value, afterwards with their complements, and finally again with the random value from the first pass. After this all data will be overwritten for three times using the Department of Defense (DoD) 5220.22-M (E) standard afterwards with the random values, and finally again with the DoD 5220.22-M (E) standard. At the end all data will be overwritten with the method from Peter Gutmann for 35-times by defined rules and another three defined rules from ProtectStar, Inc.

In this seven cycle variation (DoD 5220.22-M ECE), data is first overwritten three times with DoD 5220.22-M (E) Standards, then with a specific random value, and finally once again with DoD 5220.22-M (E).
BSI Method (6 cycles)
This method conforms to the standards of the German BSI as described in the 'BSI IT Baseline Protection Manual' (more information: www.bsi.de). Data are overwritten with a random value and then with this values compliment. This procedure is completed with new random values three times.
DoD 5220.22-M E (3 cycles)

January 1995 'National Industry Security Program Operating Manual' from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD 5220.22-M). The variation (DoD 5220.22-M E) offers 3 cycles in which the data are overwritten with first a set value, then its compliment, and then a random value.
