It is a good idea to review the code and see if it addresses your threat model and concerns. .PP If a secure heap is used, then private key \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fR values are stored there. This protects long-term storage of private keys, but will not necessarily put all intermediate values and computations there. .PP \&\fBCRYPTO_secure_malloc_init()\fR creates the secure heap, with the specified \&\f(CW\*(C`size\*(C'\fR in bytes. The \f(CW\*(C`minsize\*(C'\fR parameter is the minimum size to allocate from the heap. Both \f(CW\*(C`size\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`minsize\*(C'\fR must be a power of two. .PP \&\fBCRYPTO_secure_malloc_initialized()\fR indicates whether or not the secure heap as been initialized and is available. .PP \&\fBCRYPTO_secure_malloc_done()\fR releases the heap and makes the memory unavailable to the process if all secure memory has been freed. It can take noticeably long to complete. .PP \&\fBOPENSSL_secure_malloc()\fR allocates \f(CW\*(C`num\*(C'\fR bytes from the heap. If \fBCRYPTO_secure_malloc_init()\fR is not called, this is equivalent to calling \fBOPENSSL_malloc()\fR. It is a macro that expands to \&\fBCRYPTO_secure_malloc()\fR and adds the \f(CW\*(C`_\|_FILE_\|_\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`_\|_LINE_\|_\*(C'\fR parameters. .PP \&\fBOPENSSL_secure_zalloc()\fR and \fBCRYPTO_secure_zalloc()\fR are like \&\fBOPENSSL_secure_malloc()\fR and \fBCRYPTO_secure_malloc()\fR, respectively, except that they call \fBmemset()\fR to zero the memory before returning. .PP \&\fBOPENSSL_secure_free()\fR releases the memory at \f(CW\*(C`ptr\*(C'\fR back to the heap. It must be called with a value previously obtained from \&\fBOPENSSL_secure_malloc()\fR. If \fBCRYPTO_secure_malloc_init()\fR is not called, this is equivalent to calling \fBOPENSSL_free()\fR. It exists for consistency with \fBOPENSSL_secure_malloc()\fR , and is a macro that expands to \fBCRYPTO_secure_free()\fR and adds the \f(CW\*(C`_\|_FILE_\|_\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`_\|_LINE_\|_\*(C'\fR parameters.. .PP \&\fBOPENSSL_secure_clear_free()\fR is similar to \fBOPENSSL_secure_free()\fR except that it has an additional \f(CW\*(C`num\*(C'\fR parameter which is used to clear the memory if it was not allocated from the secure heap. If \fBCRYPTO_secure_malloc_init()\fR is not called, this is equivalent to calling \fBOPENSSL_clear_free()\fR. .PP \&\fBOPENSSL_secure_actual_size()\fR tells the actual size allocated to the pointer; implementations may allocate more space than initially requested, in order to \*(L"round up\*(R" and reduce secure heap fragmentation. .PP \&\fBOPENSSL_secure_allocated()\fR tells if a pointer is allocated in the secure heap. .PP \&\fBCRYPTO_secure_used()\fR returns the number of bytes allocated in the secure heap. .SH "RETURN VALUES" .IX Header "RETURN VALUES" \&\fBCRYPTO_secure_malloc_init()\fR returns 0 on failure, 1 if successful, and 2 if successful but the heap could not be protected by memory mapping. .PP \&\fBCRYPTO_secure_malloc_initialized()\fR returns 1 if the secure heap is available (that is, if \fBCRYPTO_secure_malloc_init()\fR has been called, but \fBCRYPTO_secure_malloc_done()\fR has not been called or failed) or 0 if not. .PP \&\fBOPENSSL_secure_malloc()\fR and \fBOPENSSL_secure_zalloc()\fR return a pointer into the secure heap of the requested size, or \f(CW\*(C`NULL\*(C'\fR if memory could not be allocated. .PP \&\fBCRYPTO_secure_allocated()\fR returns 1 if the pointer is in the secure heap, or 0 if not. .PP \&\fBCRYPTO_secure_malloc_done()\fR returns 1 if the secure memory area is released, or 0 if not. .PP \&\fBOPENSSL_secure_free()\fR and \fBOPENSSL_secure_clear_free()\fR return no values. .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" \&\fBOPENSSL_malloc\fR\|(3), \&\fBBN_new\fR\|(3) .SH "HISTORY" .IX Header "HISTORY" The \fBOPENSSL_secure_clear_free()\fR function was added in OpenSSL 1.1.0g. .SH "COPYRIGHT" .IX Header "COPYRIGHT" Copyright 2015\-2016 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
