+/*
+ * S3 Encryption Test Server - C++ V2
+ * 
+ * CONCURRENCY AND SYNCHRONIZATION DESIGN:
+ * 
+ * 1. Threading Model:
+ *    - Uses MHD_USE_POLL_INTERNALLY with fixed thread pool
+ *    - Thread pool size = CPU cores * 2 (auto-detected at startup)
+ *    - Threads are reused across connections for efficiency
+ *    - I/O multiplexing (poll) distributes connections across thread pool
+ *    - All S3 operations are SYNCHRONOUS - server waits for S3 completion before responding
+ *    - POLL mechanism avoids FD_SETSIZE=1024 limitation of select()
+ * 
+ * 2. Resource Scaling:
+ *    - All limits automatically scale with detected CPU count:
+ *      * Thread pool size = num_cores * 2
+ *      * Connection limit = num_cores * 2
+ *      * S3 client maxConnections = num_cores * 2
+ *    - Multiplier of 2 accounts for I/O blocking without starving throughput
+ *    - Ensures optimal resource usage on any hardware configuration
+ * 
+ * 3. Client Cache (client_cache_secret):
+ *    - Protected by std::shared_mutex for efficient concurrent access
+ *    - get_client() uses shared_lock (multiple threads can read simultaneously)
+ *    - set_client() uses unique_lock (exclusive write access)
+ *    - This allows concurrent GET/PUT operations without serialization
+ *    - UUID-based keys guarantee uniqueness (always insert, never update)
+ * 
+ * 4. Memory Management:
+ *    - Request body allocated in request_handler (*con_cls = new std::string())
+ *    - Body lifetime managed by libmicrohttpd - valid until request_completed()
+ *    - All handler functions complete synchronously before returning
+ *    - request_completed() safely deletes body after response sent
+ *    - No memory leaks under sustained concurrent load
+ * 
+ * 5. Synchronous Operation Guarantees:
+ *    - GetObject: Waits for S3, reads full response stream, then returns
+ *    - PutObject: Waits for S3 operation to complete, then returns
+ *    - No async callbacks or background operations
+ *    - Client receives response only after S3 operation completes

+ * S3 Encryption Test Server - C++ V2 Transition
+ * 
+ * CONCURRENCY AND SYNCHRONIZATION DESIGN:
+ * 
+ * 1. Threading Model:
+ *    - Uses MHD_USE_POLL_INTERNALLY with fixed thread pool
+ *    - Thread pool size = CPU cores * 2 (auto-detected at startup)
+ *    - Threads are reused across connections for efficiency
+ *    - I/O multiplexing (poll) distributes connections across thread pool
+ *    - All S3 operations are SYNCHRONOUS - server waits for S3 completion before responding
+ *    - POLL mechanism avoids FD_SETSIZE=1024 limitation of select()
+ * 
+ * 2. Resource Scaling:
+ *    - All limits automatically scale with detected CPU count:
+ *      * Thread pool size = num_cores * 2
+ *      * Connection limit = num_cores * 2
+ *      * S3 client maxConnections = num_cores * 2
+ *    - Multiplier of 2 accounts for I/O blocking without starving throughput
+ *    - Ensures optimal resource usage on any hardware configuration
+ * 
+ * 3. Client Cache (client_cache_secret):
+ *    - Protected by std::shared_mutex for efficient concurrent access
+ *    - get_client() uses shared_lock (multiple threads can read simultaneously)
+ *    - set_client() uses unique_lock (exclusive write access)
+ *    - This allows concurrent GET/PUT operations without serialization
+ *    - UUID-based keys guarantee uniqueness (always insert, never update)
+ * 
+ * 4. Memory Management:
+ *    - Request body allocated in request_handler (*con_cls = new std::string())
+ *    - Body lifetime managed by libmicrohttpd - valid until request_completed()
+ *    - All handler functions complete synchronously before returning
+ *    - request_completed() safely deletes body after response sent
+ *    - No memory leaks under sustained concurrent load
+ * 
+ * 5. Synchronous Operation Guarantees:
+ *    - GetObject: Waits for S3, reads full response stream, then returns
+ *    - PutObject: Waits for S3 operation to complete, then returns
+ *    - No async callbacks or background operations
+ *    - Client receives response only after S3 operation completes

+/*
+ * S3 Encryption Test Server - C++ V3
+ * 
+ * CONCURRENCY AND SYNCHRONIZATION DESIGN:
+ * 
+ * 1. Threading Model:
+ *    - Uses MHD_USE_POLL_INTERNALLY with fixed thread pool
+ *    - Thread pool size = CPU cores * 2 (auto-detected at startup)
+ *    - Threads are reused across connections for efficiency
+ *    - I/O multiplexing (poll) distributes connections across thread pool
+ *    - All S3 operations are SYNCHRONOUS - server waits for S3 completion before responding
+ *    - POLL mechanism avoids FD_SETSIZE=1024 limitation of select()
+ * 
+ * 2. Resource Scaling:
+ *    - All limits automatically scale with detected CPU count:
+ *      * Thread pool size = num_cores * 2
+ *      * Connection limit = num_cores * 2
+ *      * S3 client maxConnections = num_cores * 2
+ *    - Multiplier of 2 accounts for I/O blocking without starving throughput
+ *    - Ensures optimal resource usage on any hardware configuration
+ * 
+ * 3. Client Cache (client_cache_secret):
+ *    - Protected by std::shared_mutex for efficient concurrent access
+ *    - get_client() uses shared_lock (multiple threads can read simultaneously)
+ *    - set_client() uses unique_lock (exclusive write access)
+ *    - This allows concurrent GET/PUT operations without serialization
+ *    - UUID-based keys guarantee uniqueness (always insert, never update)
+ * 
+ * 4. Memory Management:
+ *    - Request body allocated in request_handler (*con_cls = new std::string())
+ *    - Body lifetime managed by libmicrohttpd - valid until request_completed()
+ *    - All handler functions complete synchronously before returning
+ *    - request_completed() safely deletes body after response sent
+ *    - No memory leaks under sustained concurrent load
+ * 
+ * 5. Synchronous Operation Guarantees:
+ *    - GetObject: Waits for S3, reads full response stream, then returns
+ *    - PutObject: Waits for S3 operation to complete, then returns
+ *    - No async callbacks or background operations
+ *    - Client receives response only after S3 operation completes

+/**
+ * Ranged Get Tests - S3 Encryption Client Cross-Language Compatibility
+ * 
+ * PURPOSE:
+ * This test suite validates that ranged get operations (partial object reads) work correctly
+ * across all three encryption algorithms (CBC, GCM, KC-GCM) and that commitment validation
+ * occurs properly during ranged gets for KC-GCM encrypted objects.
+ * 
+ * WHAT IS BEING TESTED:
+ * 1. Ranged gets successfully retrieve partial content from encrypted objects across all algorithms
+ * 2. Commitment validation is enforced during ranged gets for KC-GCM encrypted objects
+ * 3. Corrupted commitment metadata (removed, moved, or mutated) causes ranged gets to fail
+ * 4. Various byte ranges work correctly: start, end, middle, whole file, and auth tag only
+ * 
+ * WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT:
+ * - Ranged gets are a critical S3 feature that must work with encrypted objects
+ * - KC-GCM's commitment mechanism must be validated even for partial reads to prevent
+ *   commitment-based issues where an actor control the encryption keys
+ * - Cross-language compatibility ensures all SDKs handle ranged gets consistently
+ * - Edge cases (first/last bytes, auth tags) verify boundary condition handling
+ * 
+ * TEST STRUCTURE:
+ * This suite uses a two-phase approach with enforced ordering:
+ * 1. EncryptTests - Encrypts objects with CBC, GCM, and KC-GCM algorithms
+ *    - Creates corrupted KC-GCM test cases with manipulated commitment metadata
+ *    - All encrypt tests can run in parallel within this phase
+ * 2. RangedGetTests - Waits for encryption to complete, then tests ranged gets
+ *    - Tests successful ranged gets on valid objects
+ *    - Tests failed ranged gets on corrupted commitment objects
+ *    - All ranged get tests can run in parallel within this phase
+ * 
+ * Coordination uses a CountDownLatch to ensure all encryption completes before ranged gets begin.
+ * 
+ * INPUT DIMENSIONS:
+ * - Encryption Algorithm: CBC, GCM, KC-GCM
+ * - Language Implementation: All languages supporting RANGED_GETS_SUPPORTED
+ * - Byte Range Types: 
+ *   * Start (bytes 0-99)
+ *   * End (last 100 bytes)
+ *   * Middle (100 bytes centered in file)
+ *   * Whole file (all bytes)
+ *   * Auth tag only (last 16 bytes for authenticated algorithms)
+ * - Storage Mode (KC-GCM only):
+ *   * Object Metadata Storage (all metadata in object, no instruction file)
+ *   * Instruction File Storage (c/d/i in metadata, x-amz-3/w/m/t in instruction file)
+ * - Commitment State (KC-GCM only):
+ *   * Valid - Object Metadata Storage (original and good-copy)
+ *   * Valid - Instruction File Storage (original and good-copy)
+ *   * Corrupted - Object Metadata Storage:
+ *     - Mutated c/d/i: bit flipped in metadata values
+ *     - Invalid c length: c < 28 bytes in metadata
+ *     - Invalid c length: c > 28 bytes in metadata
+ *   * Corrupted - Instruction File Storage:
+ *     - Commitment duplicated: c/d/i in instruction file (already in metadata)
+ *     - Commitment removed: c/d/i removed from metadata
+ *     - Mutated c/d/i in metadata: bit flipped
+ *     - Mutated c/d/i in instruction file: bit flipped
+ *     - Invalid c length: c < 28 bytes in metadata
+ *     - Invalid c length: c > 28 bytes in metadata
+ * 
+ * EXPECTED RESULTS:
+ * - Positive: Ranged gets on valid CBC, GCM, KC-GCM objects return correct partial content
+ * - Negative: Ranged gets on corrupted KC-GCM objects fail with commitment validation errors
+ * 
+ * REPRESENTATIVE VALUES:
+ * - Bit flip position: Randomly selected per test run, included in object key name
+ * - File size: Object keys themselves (short strings) serve as representative small files
+ * - Byte ranges: Fixed patterns covering important boundary conditions
+ * 
+ * SCOPE:
+ * - Languages in RANGED_GETS_SUPPORTED set are tested,
+ *   the encrypt tests are to create values that are then tested.
+ * - CBC and GCM tests validate ranged get functionality works
+ * - KC-GCM tests focus on commitment validation during ranged gets

+/**
+ * ReEncrypt Instruction File Tests - S3 Encryption Client Cross-Language Compatibility
+ * 
+ * PURPOSE:
+ * This test suite validates that instruction file re-encryption enables key rotation without
+ * re-uploading encrypted objects, and that re-encrypted objects maintain cross-language
+ * compatibility and commitment validation guarantees.
+ * 
+ * WHAT IS BEING TESTED:
+ * 1. Instruction file re-encryption for KC-GCM algorithm with raw keyrings
+ * 2. Re-encryption across different raw keyring types (AES, RSA)
+ * 3. Same-type keyring rotation (AES => AES, RSA => RSA)
+ * 4. Cross-type keyring rotation (AES => RSA, RSA => AES)
+ * 5. Default instruction file suffix (.instruction) and custom suffixes (.instruction-rsa, .instruction-aes)
+ * 6. Cross-language compatibility: all languages can decrypt after re-encryption
+ * 7. Rotation enforcement to prevent re-encryption with the same key
+ * 
+ * WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT:
+ * - Key rotation is a critical security operation that should not require expensive object re-uploads
+ * - ReEncryptInstructionFile enables updating the encrypted data key without touching the ciphertext
+ * - Raw keyrings (AES, RSA) provide direct key material access required for re-encryption
+ * - Cross-type rotation (e.g., AES to RSA) enables flexibility in key management strategies
+ * - Commitment validation must be maintained even when instruction files are re-encrypted
+ * - Cross-language compatibility ensures key rotation doesn't break existing clients
+ * - Rotation enforcement prevents accidental re-encryption with the same key material
+ * - Custom instruction file suffixes enable sharing encrypted objects with partners
+ * 
+ * TEST STRUCTURE:
+ * This suite uses a three-phase approach with enforced ordering:
+ * 1. EncryptTests - Encrypts objects with instruction files using AES and RSA keyrings
+ *    - All encrypt tests can run in parallel within this phase
+ *    - Signals encryptPhaseComplete latch when done
+ * 2. ReEncryptTests - Waits for encryption to complete, then re-encrypts instruction files
+ *    - Tests same-type rotations (AES => AES, RSA => RSA)
+ *    - Tests cross-type rotations (AES => RSA with .instruction-rsa suffix, RSA => AES with .instruction-aes suffix)
+ *    - Tests rotation enforcement (same key rejection)
+ *    - All re-encrypt tests can run in parallel within this phase
+ *    - Tracks which objects were re-encrypted to which keys to prevent conflicts
+ *    - Signals reEncryptPhaseComplete latch when done
+ * 3. DecryptReEncryptedTests - Waits for re-encryption to complete, then tests decryption
+ *    - Tests cross-language decryption compatibility after re-encryption
+ *    - Uses tracked object lists to decrypt with correct keys and custom instruction file suffixes
+ *    - All decrypt tests can run in parallel within this phase
+ * 
+ * Coordination uses two CountDownLatches:
+ * - encryptPhaseComplete: Ensures all encryption completes before re-encryption begins
+ * - reEncryptPhaseComplete: Ensures all re-encryption completes before decryption begins
+ * 
+ * INPUT DIMENSIONS:
+ * - Source Key Material: AES (256-bit), RSA (2048-bit key pairs)
+ * - Destination Key Material: Different AES or RSA keys (raw keyrings)
+ * - Encryption Algorithm: KC-GCM (ALG_AES_256_GCM_HKDF_SHA512_COMMIT_KEY)
+ * - Instruction File Suffix: default (.instruction), custom (.instruction-rsa, .instruction-aes)
+ * - Language for Re-encryption: Java V3-Transition, Java V4 (RE_ENCRYPT_SUPPORTED)
+ * - Language for Decryption: All languages supporting instruction files
+ * - Rotation Enforcement: enforceRotation flag (true/false)
+ * 
+ * EXPECTED RESULTS:
+ * - Positive: Re-encryption succeeds with different key material, all languages can decrypt
+ * - Negative: Re-encryption fails when enforceRotation detects same key material
+ * 
+ * REPRESENTATIVE VALUES:
+ * - Object keys themselves (short strings) serve as representative small plaintext files
+ * - Instruction file suffix: ".instruction" (default), ".instruction-rsa", ".instruction-aes"
+ * - Key materials: Generated once per type and reused across tests
+ * 
+ * FILTERING:
+ * - Only languages in RE_ENCRYPT_SUPPORTED can perform re-encryption operations
+ * - Languages in INSTRUCTION_FILE_GET_UNSUPPORTED cannot decrypt with instruction files
+ * 
+ * NOTE: KMS keyrings are NOT supported for re-encryption as the reEncryptInstructionFile
+ * method requires RawKeyring instances (AES or RSA) which provide direct access to key material.
