๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ Tracking

None.

๐Ÿ“” Objective

Currently, the temporary buffer used for deriving shareable keys is manually zeroized. While documentation indicates that preceding expect calls cannot fail, this still seems brittle to future changes.

This PR places the buffer into a Zeroizing wrapper. It is still the case that zeroization may not occur on a panic, but this was already the case with the existing implementation, which would never zeroize in such a case.
