    // SecureString attempts to provide a defense-in-depth solution.
    // 
    // On Windows, this is done with several mechanisms:
    // 1. keeping the data in unmanaged memory so that copies of it aren't implicitly made by the GC moving it around
    // 2. zero'ing out that unmanaged memory so that the string is reliably removed from memory when done with it
    // 3. encrypting the data while it's not being used (it's unencrypted to manipulate and use it)
    // 
    // On Unix, we do 1 and 2, but we don't do 3 as there's no CryptProtectData equivalent.
