/*
 * Developer's Notes:
 * Stateful signatures are based on the one-time use of a secret key. A pool of secret keys is created for this purpose.
 * The state of these keys is 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 stored securely.
 * The key index/counter must be updated after each signature generation.
 * The secret key must be protected in a thread-safe manner.
 *
 * Applications therefore are required to provide environment-specific callback functions to
 *  - store private key
 *  - lock/unlock private key
 *
 *  See below for details

 *  OQS_SIG_STFL_SECRET_KEY_SET_unlock
