NSFilemanager and secure delete

Is there any officially supported way of secure-deleting files in Mac OS X 10.5+?

if not, what about if I move all files (using NSFilemanager) to a common folder, and use srm: from a shell script. Would this delete all traces of a file, or would the file still be recoverable because of the move operation?

thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.
