+ * Developer's Notes:
+ * Stateful signatures are based on one-time use of a secret key. A pool of secret keys are created for this purpose.
+ * The state of these keys are tracked to ensure that they are used only once to generate a signature.
+ *
+ * As such, product specific environments do play a role in ensuring the safety of the keys.
+ * Secret keys must be store securely.
+ * The key index/counter must be updated after each signature generation.
+ * Secret key must be protected in a thread-save manner.
+ *
+ * Application therefore are required to provide environment specific callback functions to
+ *  - store private key
+ *  - lock/unlock private key
+ *
+ *  See below for details
