/// \brief Singleton entry point and factory class
///
/// This is a singleton class that serves as the entry point to
/// the underlying cryptography library, and as a factory for objects
/// within the cryptolink library.
///
/// There is only one way to access it, through getCryptoLink(), which
/// returns a reference to the initialized library. On the first call,
/// it will be initialized automatically. You can however initialize it
/// manually through a call to initialize(), before your first call
/// to getCryptoLink. Any subsequent call to initialize() will be a
/// noop.
///
/// In order for the CryptoLink library to be sure that the underlying
/// library has been initialized, and because we do not want to add
/// such a check to every class and function within it, we have made
/// the constructors of all classes within cryptolink private. This way
/// a caller cannot instantiate an object before the library is
/// initialized, but must use CryptoLink's create method (e.g.
/// createHMAC()), which enforces (automatic) initialization.
///
/// In order for the CryptoLink class to be able to create objects that
/// have private constructors, it is declared a friend class of these
/// classes.
///
/// Since these factory functions return bare pointers, we also provide
/// deleter functions for them (e.g. deleteHMAC()), so that a caller
/// can use that to make sure it uses the correct delete operator (the
/// one defined at compilation time of this library). A way to make
/// sure you do not forget this, is to place the result of the create
/// functions in a shared_ptr with the corresponding deleter function.
///
/// \note All other classes within cryptolink should have private
/// constructors as well, and should have a factory function from
/// CryptoLink, and a deleter function.
///
// Internal note: we can use this class later to initialize and manage
// dynamic (PKCS#11) libs
