    // SecureStringHasher is a hash code provider for strings. The hash codes calculation starts with a seed (hasCodeRandomizer) which is usually
    // different for each instance of SecureStringHasher. Since the hash code depend on the seed, the chance of hashtable DoS attack in case when 
    // someone passes in lots of strings that hash to the same hash code is greatly reduced.
    // The SecureStringHasher implements IEqualityComparer for strings and therefore can be used in generic IDictionary.
