+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+In order to help protect applications (particularly long-running servers)
+from pointer overruns or underruns that could return arbitrary data from
+the program's dynamic memory area, where keys and other sensitive
+information might be stored, OpenSSL supports the concept of a \*(L"secure heap.\*(R"
+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.
+.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 or zero to use a reasonable default value.
+Both \f(CW\*(C`size\*(C'\fR and, if specified, \f(CW\*(C`minsize\*(C'\fR must be a power of two and
+\&\f(CW\*(C`minsize\*(C'\fR should generally be small, for example 16 or 32.
+\&\f(CW\*(C`minsize\*(C'\fR must be less than a quarter of \f(CW\*(C`size\*(C'\fR in any case.
+.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.
