AAD-50 is an open-source framework eliminating the 15-year verification gap in NVMe sanitization where drives return premature success handshakes during background purging. It forces host polling of NVMe Log Page 0x81 until destruction is firmware-confirmed. The utility exposes hidden over-provisioned blocks and intercepts silent background processing windows to enforce strict, silicon-level data destruction guarantees.

FEATURES:

NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 Purge compliant

SHA-256 tamper-evident audit trails

Automated PDF Certificate generation

ENHANCEMENTS:

Active Log Page 0x81 hardware polling

50-cycle high-assurance firmware purging

Silicon-level deallocated status validation

Integrated cycle timing analysis

Block-purge progress tracking

Non-destructive ASIC hardware emulation (Safe Mode)

Hardened Media Encryption Key erasure

COMPATIBILITY:

Legacy unverified handshakes removed

Strict host active polling required
