Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / How is Information preserved on the surface of a Black Hole?

I saw a lecture with Leonard Susskind, and he said that when anything falls into a black hole, it's information is not lost and is stored in very tiny bits (size = Planck length) on the surface of the Black hole.
1) How is the information of each sub atomic particle "written" onto the Black Holes surface as the particle enters the BH?
2) Do these bits code for each sub atomic particle, or also the large structure of the element that fell in.
3) Does it take more information to record a complex object than a sold block of iron?
4) What happens to the information that is preserved on the surface when it evaporates due to Hawking radiation?
It gets released in what format? It's a tiny Planck length bit, so how does it allow teh information to be retrieved?
