secure_gate/dynamic.rs
1//! Heap-allocated wrapper for variable-length secrets.
2//!
3//! Provides [`Dynamic<T>`], a zero-cost wrapper enforcing explicit access to sensitive data.
4//! Treat secrets as radioactive — minimize exposure surface.
5//!
6//! **Inner type must implement `Zeroize`** for automatic zeroization on drop (including spare capacity).
7//! Requires the `alloc` feature.
8//!
9//! # Examples
10//!
11//! ```rust
12//! # #[cfg(feature = "alloc")]
13//! use secure_gate::{Dynamic, RevealSecret};
14//!
15//! # #[cfg(feature = "alloc")]
16//! {
17//! let secret: Dynamic<Vec<u8>> = Dynamic::new(vec![1u8, 2, 3, 4]);
18//! let sum = secret.with_secret(|s| s.iter().sum::<u8>());
19//! assert_eq!(sum, 10);
20//! # }
