## Detailed Description

this file contains the definition of secu_string class, a std::string like class but allocated in secure memory

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
