 As discussed in the bind10-dev mailing list, PKCS#11 and some other crypto
 libraries make a difference between a context for a signing or for a
 verify operation, so typically the update() function has two different and
 incompatible instances.
 There are two ways to fix this in crypto link:
  - the hard/heavy but statically checked way by split classes into a
 verify and a sign variants
  - the soft but dynamically checked way but just adding a 2 item enum
 about the expected operation
 The bind 9 PKCS#11 only experiment showed the second/soft way is enough.
