* Weaver provides secure storage of secret values that may only be read if the
* corresponding key has been presented.
*
* The storage must be secure as the device's user authentication and encryption
* relies on the security of these values. The cardinality of the domains of the
* key and value must be suitably large such that they cannot be easily guessed.
*
* Weaver is structured as an array of slots, each containing a key-value pair.
* Slots are uniquely identified by an ID in the range [0, `getConfig().slots`).
