Platform-specific implementation of gmtime_r()
The function is a thread-safe abstraction that behaves similarly to the gmtime_r() function from Unix/POSIX. Mbed TLS will try to identify the underlying platform and make use of an appropriate underlying implementation (e.g. gmtime_r() for POSIX and gmtime_s() for Windows). If this is not possible, then gmtime() will be used. In this case, calls from the library to gmtime() will be guarded by the mutex mbedtls_threading_gmtime_mutex if MBEDTLS_THREADING_C is enabled. It is recommended that calls from outside the library are also guarded by this mutex. If MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_GMTIME_R_ALT is defined, then Mbed TLS will unconditionally use the alternative implementation for mbedtls_platform_gmtime_r() supplied by the user at compile time.

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
buf | Buffer to be zeroized |
len | Length of the buffer in bytes |
