+Known security limitations
+--------------------------
+
+Lack of secure memory wiping
+============================
+
+`Memory wiping`_ is used to protect secret data or key material from attackers
+with access to uninitialized memory. This can be either because the attacker
+has some kind of local user access or because of other softwares use of
+uninitialized memory.
+
+Python exposes no API for us to implement this reliably and as such most
+software in Python is vulnerable to this attack. However we do not currently
+believe this to be particularly high risk issue for most users.
