    /// \brief this file contains the definition of secu_string class, a std::string like class but allocated in secure memory
    /// \ingroup Private
    ///
    /// secure memory is a allocated memory that is never swapped out (wrote to disk)
    /// the implementation relies on gcrypt_malloc_secure() call (libgcrypt)
    /// rather than relying on mlock()/munlock() posix system call.
    /// as the need for secure string is for strong encryption, there is no much
    /// interest in re-inventing the wheel as the need is dependent on gcrypt availability
