libsd

What is it?

There are already applications for securely deleting files by writing several bitpatterns over a file before removing if from a filesystem. libsd is the same thing, only it can make all applications doing secure deletes without changing a single line of code!
Be warned: 1.0.1 is a the first version, there might be errors!

This patch greatly increases the entropy data usage of the kernel so you may like to use one of the following programs:

audio-entropyd adds entropy bits (random bits) to the /dev/random device. it gets them from a (spare) audio device
video-entropyd adds entropy bits (random bits) to the /dev/random device. it gets them from a (spare) video4linux device (e.g. a webcam or tv-card)
