Josh Rickmar 948609f064 Add licenses to files in package zero. 2015-04-14 11:34:25 -04:00
Josh Rickmar 4d9c43593d Consolidate and optimize zero functions.
This introduce a new internal package to deal with the explicit
clearing of data (such as private keys) in byte slices, byte arrays
(32 and 64-bytes long), and multi-precision "big" integers.

Benchmarks from a xeon e3 (Xor is the zeroing funcion which Bytes
replaces):
