Just as a personal note, for file/directory wiping - free space wiping, I am using bcwipe 
(it's shareware but never expires and works fine, providing enough wiping algorithms).


Similarly for image encryption I am using BestCrypt. That is, it creates an encrypted file 
which you mount using a password in a directory. It also supports enough algorithms.

(use "rpmbuild --rebuild BestCrypt-1.6-10.src.rpm" to create the binary rpm, which is 
created in a directory that I do not remember now).
