Exemplary method, system, and computer program product embodiments for cryptographic erasure of selected encrypted data are provided. In one embodiment, by way of example only, data files are configured with a derived key. The derived keys adapted to be individually shredded in a subsequent erasure operation. The derived key allows for cryptographic erasure of the selected encrypted data in the data files without necessitating at least one of removal and rewrite of retained data.
