When you normally delete a file, it doesn't actually delete it, to save time it just marks the space as free, so any new files can be written into that part of your drive.
But the actual data just remains there until a new file is written to the storage.
SecureErase does the second part without making an actual file.
Normal delete:
File: 01010101 -> no file:01010101
Secure erase:
File: 01010101 -> no file:00000000
Yeah, and understanding the context of a massive codebase will give it a ton of challenges
I think N/2 would make the most sense
It's in 0.35, which is currently out on github, it should make it to f-droid and google play soon
