Module SensitiveActions

Provides classes and predicates for identifying sensitive data and methods for security.

‘Sensitive’ data in general is anything that should not be sent around in unencrypted form. This library tries to guess where sensitive data may either be stored in a variable or produced by a method.

In addition, there are methods that ought not to be executed or not in a fashion that the user can control. This includes authorization methods such as logins, and sending of data, etc.
