Equipo para el borrado de los datos almacenados en
soportes magnéticos. Actúa aplicando al soporte un campo magnético creciente
desde cero hasta un valor máximo prefijado para volver después nuevamente a
cero. [Ribagorda:1997]
También denominada “destrucción magnética de disco”.
Proceso o técnica que desmagnetiza un disco para destruir permanentemente toda
la información almacenada en éste.

Procedure to reduce the
magnetic flux to virtual zero by applying a reverse magnetizing field. Also
called demagnetizing. [CNSSI_4009:2010]
1a. (N) Apply a magnetic
field to permanently remove data from a magnetic storage medium, such as a tape
or disk [NCS25]. (Compare: erase, purge, sanitize.)
1b. (N) Reduce magnetic flux
density to zero by applying a reversing magnetic field. (See:
magnetic remanence.)
[RFC4949:2007]
(N) An electrical device
that can degauss magnetic storage media. [RFC4949:2007]
To reduce the magnetic flux
to virtual zero by applying a reverse magnetizing field. Also called
demagnetizing. Degaussing any current generation hard disk (including but not
limited to IDE, EIDE, ATA, SCSI and Jaz) will render the drive permanently unusable
since these drives store track location information on the hard drive in
dedicated regions of the drive in between the data sectors. [NIST-SP800-88:2006]
Also called “disk
degaussing.” Process or technique that demagnetizes the disk such that all data
stored on the disk is permanently destroyed.

An electrical device that
can generate a magnetic field for the purpose of degaussing magnetic storage
media. [IRM-5239-8:1995]
Également nommé
«démagnétisation de disque». Processus ou technique qui démagnétisent le
disque, de sorte que toutes les données qui y sont stockées soient supprimées
de façon permanente.
