    I would say the same type of erasure we have for internal disks could be used for files. These would involve patterns and multiple passes over a file's disk blocks. From what I read the original DOD standard DoD US 5220.22-M used to be a 3-pass overwrite but they have amended that to 1 pass (this is for magnetic media).

    What overwrite method is required? Is a single pass of a known pattern sufficient or does this require more passes? Is it required that the method be tailored to different security levels?
