How can I increase memory security in Delphi?

Question

Is it possible to \"wipe\" strings in Delphi? Let me explain:

I am writing an application that will include a DLL to authorise users. It will read an encrypted file

Answer 1

How about something like this?

procedure WipeString(const str: String);
var
  i:Integer;
  iSize:Integer;
  pData:PChar;

begin
    iSize := Length(str);
    pData := PChar(str);

    for i := 0 to 7 do
    begin
      ZeroMemory(pData, iSize);
      FillMemory(pData, iSize, $FF); // 1111 1111
      FillMemory(pData, iSize, $AA); // 1010 1010
      FillMemory(pData, iSize, $55); // 0101 0101
      ZeroMemory(pData, iSize);
    end;
end;
