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