Detailed Description

Zeros memory before deallocating.

If used, the library zeros out all memory before deallocating it, for maximum security. The default is not to do so, for maximum speed.

Note:

This provides only one half of a truly secure solution. Depending on how your operating system handles virtual memory, numbers may be paged out to disk at any time. To ensure maximum security, combine it with an allocator that prevents its memory from being paged to disk under any circumstances.
