* In order to make certain data synchronously accessible in certain contexts,
* Haketilo smuggles it in string form in places like cookies, URLs and headers.
* When using the smuggled data, we first need to make sure it isn't spoofed.
* For that, we use this pseudo-signing mechanism.
*
* Despite what name suggests, no assymetric cryptography is involved, as it
* would bring no additional benefits and would incur bigger performance
* overhead. Instead, we hash the string data together with some secret value
* that is supposed to be known only by this browser instance. Resulting hash
* sum plays the role of the signature. In the hash we also include current
* time. This way, even if signed data leaks (which shouldn't happen in the
* first place), an attacker won't be able to re-use it indefinitely.
*
* The secret shared between execution contexts has to be available
* synchronously. Under Mozilla, this is the extension's per-session id. Under
* Chromium, this is a dummy web-accessible-resource name that resides in the
* manifest and is supposed to be constructed by each user using a unique value
* (this is done automatically by `build.sh').
