# cloud-sdk-sanitization
Provider-neutral cleanup and secret-handling boundary for the main
[`cloud-sdk`](https://github.com/valkyoth/cloud-sdk) workspace and
[`cloud-sdk`](https://crates.io/crates/cloud-sdk) crate.
This crate provides the mandatory volatile cleanup primitive used by the
default `no_std` SDK plus reusable caller-owned guards. It delegates clearing to the
independently reviewed [`sanitization`](https://crates.io/crates/sanitization)
crate with default features disabled.
## Install
```toml
[dependencies]
cloud-sdk = "0.38.0"
cloud-sdk-sanitization = "0.16.0"
```
## Example
```rust
use cloud_sdk_sanitization::SecretBuffer;
let mut output = [0_u8; 128];
{
let mut guarded = SecretBuffer::new(&mut output);
guarded.as_mut_slice()[..6].copy_from_slice(b"secret");
assert_eq!(&guarded.as_slice()[..6], b"secret");
}
assert_eq!(output, [0_u8; 128]);
```
With the optional `alloc` feature, the reviewed
`sanitization::SecretString` is re-exported. It consumes an owned `String`
without copying its plaintext bytes, restricts access to checked closures, and
volatile-clears the full allocation capacity on drop:
```rust
# #[cfg(feature = "alloc")]
# fn main() {
extern crate alloc;
use alloc::string::String;
use cloud_sdk_sanitization::SecretString;
let secret = SecretString::from_string(String::from("temporary secret"));
assert_eq!(
secret.try_with_secret(|value| value == "temporary secret"),
Ok(true)
);
assert!(!alloc::format!("{secret:?}").contains("temporary secret"));
# }
# #[cfg(not(feature = "alloc"))]
# fn main() {}
```
## Features
| `default` | yes | Empty; keeps the boundary `no_std`. |
| `alloc` | no | Adds owned volatile-clearing UTF-8 secret storage. |
| `std` | no | Enables `alloc` and standard-library integration in `cloud-sdk`; clearing behavior is unchanged. |
Docs.rs builds with all features. The underlying `sanitization` dependency
keeps its default features disabled in every configuration.
## Security Notes
`SecretBuffer` volatile-clears its entire borrowed slice on drop, including
after early returns and unwind where unwind exists. `SecretString` clears its
full owned allocation capacity on drop and clears old allocations before
growth. `sanitize_bytes` provides the reviewed byte primitive used by core;
`sanitize_value` applies the same boundary to scalar lifecycle state.
These helpers do not clear immutable source strings or copies made by
transports, operating systems, crash handlers, swap, remote services, or other
processes. They also do not replace review of token ownership, logging,
environment variables, paging, compiler behavior, or process boundaries.
