Abstract
A method for vital memory management of data. A method is disclosed for clearing on specified conditions and for assuring the clearing is effected. Both random access and stack operation are implemented. Clearing the memory area requires reading the contents of a given location and, assuming expected data is read, going on to process the next memory location. In one embodiment the contents of the given location are used to access the next location, thereby assuring that if unexpected data is read the process will not proceed normally.
