37 | * \brief Securely zeroize a buffer | |
38 | * | |
39 | * The function is meant to wipe the data contained in a buffer so | |
40 | * that it can no longer be recovered even if the program memory | |
41 | * is later compromised. Call this function on sensitive data | |
42 | * stored on the stack before returning from a function, and on | |
43 | * sensitive data stored on the heap before freeing the heap | |
44 | * object. | |
45 | * | |
46 | * It is extremely difficult to guarantee that calls to | |
47 | * mbedtls_platform_zeroize() are not removed by aggressive | |
48 | * compiler optimizations in a portable way. For this reason, Mbed | |
49 | * TLS provides the configuration option | |
50 | * MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_ZEROIZE_ALT, which allows users to configure | |
51 | * mbedtls_platform_zeroize() to use a suitable implementation for | |
52 | * their platform and needs | |
53 | * | |
54 | * \param buf Buffer to be zeroized | |
55 | * \param len Length of the buffer in bytes | |
