Depends on when you did it and why. Many businesses have document retention policies (crafted with the assistance of counsel) that specify old documents are to be put beyond recovery, and scrapping a crypto key is generally seen as more cost-effective than shipping the drive off to be shredded. IronMountain charges $X per drive, but wiping a crypto key is effectively free. If you do this in response to an investigation then yes, you're likely going to make the judge very unhappy. If you do this as part of normal business practices that were devised with the assistance of counsel, you're likely to fare much better. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
