The Secret interface manages limited time access to a secret and securely erases the secret when no longer needed.
Multiple `Secret` classes exist. Most of the time you shouldn't need to change the `Secret` type. The cryptographic library should have sane defaults.
Multiple `Secret` classes exist. Most of the time you shouldn't need to change the `Secret` type - the cryptographic library should have sane defaults.
If you have a high security or high performance application see [which secret type should I use?](https://didactic-drunk.github.io/crypto-secret.cr/main/Crypto/Secret.html)
## What attacks does a Secret protect against?
* Timing attacks when comparing secrets by overriding `==`
* Leaking data in to logs by overriding `inspect`
* Wiping memory when the secret is no longer in use
### Provided secret classes
* `Crypto::Secret::Guarded` - Guard pages, mprotect, doesn't appear in core dumps (os dependent)
* `Crypto::Secret::Bidet` - Wipe only. Low overhead.
* `Crypto::Secret::Not` - It's not secret. Doesn't wipe and no additional protection.
* `Crypto::Secret::Todo` - Uses mlock, mprotect and canaries in future versions
Secret providers may implement additional protections via:
* `#noaccess`, `#readonly` or `#readwrite` via `mprotect`
* `#noaccess`, `#readonly` or `#readwrite`
* Using [mprotect]() to control access
* Encrypting the data when not in use
* Deriving keys on demand from a HSM
* Preventing the Secret from entering swap ([mlock]())

### Optionally change the security level
The default should be sufficient for most applications. Do not change unless you have special needs.
Password managers or cryptocurrency wallets may prefer :strong or :paranoid.
Blockchain verifiers or apps that only handle high volume public info may prefer :lax.
```crystal
# Choose one
Crypto::Secret::Config.setup :paranoid
Crypto::Secret::Config.setup :strong

## What is a Secret?

@ -122,8 +93,8 @@ That's complicated and specific to the application. Some examples:
Not secrets:
* `Digest` output. Except when used for key derivation, then it's a Secret, including the Digest state
* `IO::Memory` or writing a file. Except when the file is a password vault, cryptocurrency wallet, encrypted mail/messages, goat porn, maybe "normal" porn, sometimes scat porn, occassionally furry, not people porn
