Couldn't that be defeated by draining the battery, for example with low temperatures? Programming it to wipe itself when low on charge might cause other issues.

- coddle-hark 6y agoI think this answers the OP’s question: Conversations like this are really expensive to have.
- dathinab 6y agoNot if: low battery -> auto wipe Also if the content is encrypted you don't need to auto wipe the 128GB, just auto wiping the AES key is enough. EDIT: To clarify: Many systems like that have a stored AES key for the data encryption which then again is encrypted e.g. "with a password".
- frostburg 6y agoThat would mitigate one of the issues with auto-wiping (because the owner could store a copy of the key elsewhere and use it to recover the data if a false positive happened), but it should be explained very clearly to the user.
