New very promising Linux syscall for creating secret memory even the kernel cant read. I'll be working for creating a crate for using it out.
I have thought extremely hard about this and implemented the following API for this problem: https://github.com/stouset/secrets

What are some alternatives?
When comparing secrets and nosecmem you can also consider the following projects:
stupidalloc - A stupid Rust memory allocator
memory_pages - `memory_pages` is a small library provinig a cross-platform API to request pages from kernel with certain premisions
platform-compat - Roslyn analyzer that finds usages of APIs that will throw PlatformNotSupportedException on certain platforms.
