Hi all! I'm designing an application that runs on an embedded battery-powered PC, accessible to some restricted public, powered by node.js. The server stores secrets in node.js Buffers. To prevent cold boot attacks and that the PC is stolen to extract its secrets, it has temper-proof sensors. If tampering is detected, the application exists.
I would like that the garbage collector to effectively wipe with zeros the memory of the unused objects, so I can be sure no secrets are left in RAM memory after I null all references to the secrets, or the application exists. I've been looking at the V8 GC code and found that modifying MemoryAllocator::FreeMemory() may be the answer, but I'm unsure if this covers all possible cases. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Sergio. -- -- v8-users mailing list [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/v8-users --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "v8-users" group.
