<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>

<p>In order to help protect applications (particularly long-running servers) from pointer overruns or underruns that could return arbitrary data from the program&#39;s dynamic memory area, where keys and other sensitive information might be stored, OpenSSL supports the concept of a &quot;secure heap.&quot; The level and type of security guarantees depend on the operating system. It is a good idea to review the code and see if it addresses your threat model and concerns.</p>

<p>If a secure heap is used, then private key <b>BIGNUM</b> values are stored there. This protects long-term storage of private keys, but will not necessarily put all intermediate values and computations there.</p>

<p>CRYPTO_secure_malloc_init() creates the secure heap, with the specified <code>size</code> in bytes. The <code>minsize</code> parameter is the minimum size to allocate from the heap. Both <code>size</code> and <code>minsize</code> must be a power of two.</p>

<p>CRYPTO_secure_malloc_initialized() indicates whether or not the secure heap as been initialized and is available.</p>

<p>CRYPTO_secure_malloc_done() 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.</p>

<p>OPENSSL_secure_malloc() allocates <code>num</code> bytes from the heap. If CRYPTO_secure_malloc_init() is not called, this is equivalent to calling OPENSSL_malloc(). It is a macro that expands to CRYPTO_secure_malloc() and adds the <code>__FILE__</code> and <code>__LINE__</code> parameters.</p>

<p>OPENSSL_secure_zalloc() and CRYPTO_secure_zalloc() are like OPENSSL_secure_malloc() and CRYPTO_secure_malloc(), respectively, except that they call memset() to zero the memory before returning.</p>

<p>OPENSSL_secure_free() releases the memory at <code>ptr</code> back to the heap. It must be called with a value previously obtained from OPENSSL_secure_malloc(). If CRYPTO_secure_malloc_init() is not called, this is equivalent to calling OPENSSL_free(). It exists for consistency with OPENSSL_secure_malloc() , and is a macro that expands to CRYPTO_secure_free() and adds the <code>__FILE__</code> and <code>__LINE__</code> parameters..</p>

<p>OPENSSL_secure_clear_free() is similar to OPENSSL_secure_free() except that it has an additional <code>num</code> parameter which is used to clear the memory if it was not allocated from the secure heap. If CRYPTO_secure_malloc_init() is not called, this is equivalent to calling OPENSSL_clear_free().</p>

<p>OPENSSL_secure_actual_size() tells the actual size allocated to the pointer; implementations may allocate more space than initially requested, in order to &quot;round up&quot; and reduce secure heap fragmentation.</p>

<p>OPENSSL_secure_allocated() tells if a pointer is allocated in the secure heap.</p>

<p>CRYPTO_secure_used() returns the number of bytes allocated in the secure heap.</p>

<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>

<p>CRYPTO_secure_malloc_init() returns 0 on failure, 1 if successful, and 2 if successful but the heap could not be protected by memory mapping.</p>

<p>CRYPTO_secure_malloc_initialized() returns 1 if the secure heap is available (that is, if CRYPTO_secure_malloc_init() has been called, but CRYPTO_secure_malloc_done() has not been called or failed) or 0 if not.</p>

<p>OPENSSL_secure_malloc() and OPENSSL_secure_zalloc() return a pointer into the secure heap of the requested size, or <code>NULL</code> if memory could not be allocated.</p>

<p>CRYPTO_secure_allocated() returns 1 if the pointer is in the secure heap, or 0 if not.</p>

<p>CRYPTO_secure_malloc_done() returns 1 if the secure memory area is released, or 0 if not.</p>

<p>OPENSSL_secure_free() and OPENSSL_secure_clear_free() return no values.</p>
