Darik's Boot and Nuke ("DBAN") is a self-contained boot disk that securely wipes the hard disks of most computers. DBAN will automatically and completely delete the contents of any hard disk that it can detect, which makes it an appropriate utility for bulk or emergency data destruction.
DBAN review in RCMP TSB B2-001 Bulletin
DBAN was reviewed by the RCMP and it met their minimum standard for use by Canadian government agencies. The report summary is published here:
http://www.rcmp.gc.ca/tsb/pubs/it_sec/b2-001_e.pdf
We are working on a release that will fully conform to the B2-001 specification. DBAN qualifies as a domestic product because it is supported by a company with incorporations in most Canadian provinces.
