Zeroize is a Rust crate designed to securely and efficiently zero out memory containing sensitive data like passwords and cryptographic keys.
The crate helps address the threat of sensitive data lingering in memory even after it's no longer needed, which could leave it vulnerable to exposure in certain attacks.
Zeroize allows users to explicitly clear memory when sensitive data is no longer required, providing a way to take control over memory security.
Users can easily implement Zeroize in their Rust code to automate the process of securely clearing sensitive data, adding minimal overhead to the final binary.
