 /**
  * @file util/secmod_cs.c
  * @brief Standalone process to perform private key CS operations
  * @author Christian Grothoff
  *
  * Key design points:
  * - EVERY thread of the exchange will have its own pair of connections to the
  *   crypto helpers.  This way, every thread will also have its own /keys state
  *   and avoid the need to synchronize on those.
  * - auditor signatures and master signatures are to be kept in the exchange DB,
  *   and merged with the public keys of the helper by the exchange HTTPD!
  * - the main loop of the helper is SINGLE-THREADED, but there are
  *   threads for crypto-workers which do the signing in parallel, one per client.
  * - thread-safety: signing happens in parallel, thus when REMOVING private keys,
  *   we must ensure that all signers are done before we fully free() the
  *   private key. This is done by reference counting (as work is always
  *   assigned and collected by the main thread).
