Scrubbing is something people already understand and it's clear that
it's a data manipulation operation and not some magic "secure"
operation. And by calling it "scrub" we get away from the idea that
it only works on specific hardware - hardware acceleration is good,
but there's no reason why we should design the functionality to only
be useful on systems with hardware scrubbing capability...

Lukáš> +1 for the "scrub" operation, it makes perfect sense to me.

I'm not sure I agree with the choice of "scrub" to describe this:

What about purge or sanitize? That's what the security folks generally
use...
