Use the explicit_bzero() function in places where it is important that security information such as passwords is cleared from memory. There might be other places where it could be useful; this is just an initial collection. For platforms that don't have explicit_bzero(), provide various fallback implementations. (explicit_bzero() itself isn't standard, but as Linux/glibc, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD have it, it's the most common spelling, so it makes sense to make that the invocation point.)
