Module security 

Unicode security utilities

This module provides utilities to detect and analyze potentially dangerous Unicode characters that could be used in security attacks such as:

• Homograph attacks (visually similar characters)
• Invisible character injection
• Bidirectional text attacks
• Mixed script attacks

Examples

use unicode_rs::security::*;

// Check for suspicious characters
let result = analyze_text("Hello\u{200B}World"); // Zero-width space
assert!(result.has_invisible_chars);

// Detect homograph attacks
let suspicious = "раураӏ.com"; // Cyrillic characters that look like "paypal.com"
let analysis = analyze_text(suspicious);
assert!(analysis.has_mixed_scripts);
