## Useful for

- Store application API keys and passwords encrypted with access control
- Issue temporary credentials to AWS or SQL databases with automatic revocation
- Encrypt and decrypt application data without implementing custom cryptography

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-01 (UTC), 00:10–10:27: 36453 → 36453 stars (+0). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +1 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.

## Star trust

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
