You mean testing existing TLS libraries using this information?

The advantages of using all-D is having zero-copy buffers that inline 
with the other layers of streams when built inside another D project. I 
can also add processor-specific assembler-code algorithms of AES and RSA 
from openSSL (optimizing the critical parts can put it on par or better 
in speed).

To answer the question about safety, the code is very modular and so 
when you decide to zero out memory of keys before/after 
serialization/deserialization or even for the buffers, it happens for 
everything regardless of the complexity of the application. It's 
definitely easier to make it safer!
