Is it possible to quickly wipe a Truecrypt crypto container?

Question

Cryptography

Are there any specific headers in it? Is there a vulnerable part that can be quickly removed and screwed up the container?

Answer 1

Why trifle then, overwrite the whole thing, on the ssd it happens very quickly

Answer 2

If my memory serves me, truecrypt stores the encryption key (in turn encrypted with your password) in the first megabyte and in the last megabyte of the container. By erasing the first and last megabytes, you turn the data into white noise. But still google the container format to be sure.
Quick delete works similarly on disks with hardware encryption. After all, even there, in fact, the data is not encrypted with your password, but with a random key that is encrypted with your password. Therefore, when changing the password, it is enough to re-encrypt the conditional first sector of the disk (where the key is stored), and not terabytes of data... Deletion also turns out to be very simple.
