Via has released a free, open source utility that renders deleted Linux, Win2k, and WinCE files "virtually unrecoverable," it says. The PadLock Tru-Delete utility is available as binary or source, and is intended to show off the random number generator in newer Via processors.

Like the special Xine media player build released several weeks ago by Via, and the Zip Utility released yesterday, Tru-Delete is designed to show off the capabilities of Via hardware, and provide developers with coding examples that can be used in derivative works. The utility will run on x86 processors that do not have the PadLock RNG, but will run 50 percent slower and use more system resources, Via says.
