37 | /* | |
38 | * This implementation should never be optimized out by the compiler | |
39 | * | |
40 | * This implementation for mbedtls_platform_zeroize() was inspired from Colin | |
41 | * Percival's blog article at: | |
42 | * | |
43 | * http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2014-09-04-how-to-zero-a-buffer.html | |
44 | * | |
45 | * It uses a volatile function pointer to the standard memset(). Because the | |
46 | * pointer is volatile the compiler expects it to change at | |
47 | * any time and will not optimize out the call that could potentially perform | |
48 | * other operations on the input buffer instead of just setting it to 0. | |
49 | * Nevertheless, as pointed out by davidtgoldblatt on Hacker News | |
50 | * (refer to http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2014-09-05-erratum.html for | |
51 | * details), optimizations of the following form are still possible: | |
52 | * | |
53 | * if( memset_func != memset ) | |
54 | * memset_func( buf, 0, len ); | |
55 | * | |
56 | * Note that it is extremely difficult to guarantee that | |
57 | * mbedtls_platform_zeroize() will not be optimized out by aggressive compilers | |
58 | * in a portable way. For this reason, Mbed TLS also provides the configuration | |
59 | * option MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_ZEROIZE_ALT, which allows users to configure | |
60 | * mbedtls_platform_zeroize() to use a suitable implementation for their | |
61 | * platform and needs. | |
