SecureString is a C++ class that does not save data as plain-text in memory. It makes live analysis of memory more difficult, as well as forensic analysis, as the content is made sure to be wiped from memory when the instance is deleted.
It is provided as open-source (MIT-license) and is freely available to anyone! It is provided "as is" and I make no guarantees that the code is bug-free or functional in all senarios.
The Bitbucket Github project is located here, or you can download the source below:
Just clone the repository as a git submodule using the git submodule add https://github.com/alex-caelus/SecureString.git SecureString command into your source directory. Then #include "SecureString/SecureString.h" in all source files where you want to use the class.
