gollark: What I do for my ~~ultra high security~~ moderately more secure than average stuff is offload the secure parts to a webserver and require keys to access it.
gollark: If people are going around meddling with `keys`, the built-in library, they are silly triangles and should stop that.
gollark: Like `fread` and `unhexize` and `fread_comp` and `isprime` and `randbytes` and `w` and `statexor`.
gollark: Also sometimes weird-abbreviation-case.
