+//! These types were mostly taken from the Ruma project. The types differ in a
+//! couple of important ways to the Ruma types of the same name:
 //!
 //! 1. They are using vodozemac types so we directly deserialize into a
 //!    vodozemac Curve25519 or Ed25519 key.
 //! 2. They support lossless serialization cycles in a canonical JSON supported
 //!    way, meaning the white-space and field order won't be preserved but the
 //!    data will.
+//! 3. Types containing secrets implement the [`Zeroize`] and [`ZeroizeOnDrop`]
+//!    traits to clear out any memory containing secret key material.
