/**
* \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
