+//! Specifically, the [alloc] module provides wrappers around the `memsec` and `memfdsec` allocators
+//! from the [memsec] crate that implement the [Allocator](allocator_api2::alloc::Allocator) Trait.
+//! We refer to the documentation of these modules for more details on their appropriate usage.

+//!
+//! Once this configuration is made [Secret] can be used to store sensitive data in memory
+//! allocated by the configured allocator. [Secret] is implemented such that memory is *aloways*

+//! 2. The [debug] module provides functionality to easily create debug output for objects that are
+//!    backed by byte arrays or slices, like for example [Secret].
+//! 3. The [mod@file] module provides functionality to store [Secrets](crate::Secret)
+//!    and [Public] in files such that the file's [Visibility](rosenpass_util::file::Visibility)
+//!    corresponds to the confidentiality of the data.
+//! 4. The [rand] module provides a simple way of generating randomness.
