Libsecrm (LIBrary for SECure ReMoval) is a library which partially (read below for limitations) ensures secure data deleting by intercepting calls to some C library functions and replacing them by its own substitutes.

The data that would be deleted from a file is first securely wiped, then the original functions are called.

Libsecrm partially also takes care about memory security - some of the memory allocation functions are intercepted, and the allocated memory is wiped before passing it to the calling program.
