    # Computes an authenticator using poly1305
    #
    # The authenticator can be used at a later time to verify the provenance of
    # the message by recomputing the tag over the message and then comparing it to
    # the provided authenticator.  The class provides methods for generating
    # signatures and also has a constant-time implementation for checking them.
    #
    # As the name suggests, this is a **ONE TIME** authenticator.  Computing an
    # authenticator for two messages using the same key probably gives an
    # attacker enough information to forge further authenticators for the same
    # key.
    #
    # This is a secret key authenticator, i.e. anyone who can verify signatures
    # can also create them.
