```

--------------------------------

### Use Strong Key Derivation Parameters (Rust)

Source: https://github.com/djwarf/qasa/blob/main/docs/api/security_guide.md

This snippet illustrates the importance of using strong parameters when deriving keys from passwords. It contrasts the use of default parameters with high-security parameters to enhance the security of key derivation.

```rust
// WRONG: Using default parameters
let derived = derive_key_from_password(password, None, None)?;

// CORRECT: Using high-security parameters
let params = high_security_params();
let derived = derive_key_from_password(password, None, Some(&params))?;
```

```rust
use qasa::prelude::*;

// Use SecureBytes for sensitive data
let mut secret_key = SecureBytes::new(&keypair.secret_key);

// Data is automatically zeroized when dropped
{
    let temp_secret = SecureBytes::new(b"temporary secret");
    // ... use temp_secret ...
} // temp_secret is automatically zeroized here

// Use secure scope for temporary sensitive data
let mut key_data = vec![0u8; 32];
with_secure_scope(&mut key_data, |data| {
    // Fill with sensitive data
    random_bytes_into(data)?;
    // ... use data ...
}); // data is zeroized here, even if an error occurred
```

```rust
// WRONG: Decrypting without verifying
let plaintext = decrypt_message(&encrypted, &key, &nonce, &keypair)?;

// CORRECT: Verifying and decrypting
let plaintext = decrypt_and_verify_message(
    &encrypted, &key, &nonce, &signature, &keypair, &sender_key
)?;
```

--------------------------------

### Avoid Custom RNGs, Use Secure Functions (Rust)

Source: https://github.com/djwarf/qasa/blob/main/docs/api/security_guide.md

```rust
// WRONG: Rolling your own RNG
let timestamp = SystemTime::now().duration_since(UNIX_EPOCH)?.as_secs();
let key = hash(timestamp.to_string());

// CORRECT: Use the provided secure random functions
let random_bytes = utils::random_bytes(32)?;
```

This is useful for minimizing memory usage. The `LeanDilithium::new` function creates the lean implementation, and `release_resources` releases the allocated resources.

```Rust
// Create a lean implementation that doesn't initialize resources immediately
let mut lean = LeanDilithium::new(DilithiumVariant::Dilithium2);

// Resources are only allocated when needed
let signature = lean.sign(message, &secret_key)?;

// Resources can be explicitly released when no longer needed
lean.release_resources();
