37/// Secure key/value storage for Matrix users.
38///
39/// The `SecretStore` struct encapsulates the secret storage mechanism for
40/// Matrix users, as it is specified in the [Matrix specification].
41///
42/// This specialized storage is tied to the user's Matrix account and serves as
43/// an encrypted key/value store, backed by [account data] residing on the
44/// homeserver. Any secrets uploaded to the homeserver using the
45/// [`SecretStore::put_secret()`] method are automatically encrypted by the
46/// [`SecretStore`].
47///
48/// [`SecretStore`] enables you to safely manage and access sensitive
49/// information while ensuring that it remains protected from unauthorized
50/// access. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the privacy and security of a
51/// Matrix user's data.
52///
53/// **Data Flow Overview:**
54/// ```mermaid
55/// flowchart LR
56///    subgraph Client
57///        SecretStore
58///    end
59///    subgraph Homeserver
60///        data[Account Data]
61///    end
62///    SecretStore <== Encrypted ==> data
63/// ```
64///
65/// **Note**: It's important to emphasize that the `SecretStore` should not be
66/// used for storing large volumes of data due to its nature as a key/value
67/// store for sensitive information.
68///
69/// # Examples
70///
71/// ```no_run

73/// # use url::Url;

76/// # let client = Client::new(homeserver).await?;
77/// use ruma::events::secret::request::SecretName;
78///
