Secmalloc - a secure memory library.
BS Editor: Secmalloc - a secure memory library.Most Modern systems have some notion of Swap, where the contents of memory can be written to disk, freeing up the memory for other purposes. This allows the system a lot of flexibility in managing its memory. Infrequently used data is a prime candidate for swapping to disk, thus freeing up the real memory for more useful purposes. This can be a problem when using cryptography as there is a danger of keys or other sensitive data ending up in swap where (eventually) it may fall into the wrong hands. Secmalloc provides a secure version of the common malloc interface for managing memory. All memory allocated by secmalloc is locked, so that it cannot be swapped out. you can free download Secmalloc 0.5 now.
