      We should build a secure allocator for general use in the server whenever we need secure bits of memory.

      It should:

      • mmap/munmap memory to keep bit on separate pages for lock/unlock
      • mlock/unlock
      • zero on deallocation
      • Satisfy the minimal allocator api for the stl so it can be used with types like std::vector and std::string
