In some cases we need to return a `SecretKey` (a `P11SecretKey` instance, 
internally) that represents a key inside the token. In some cases, we can 
extract its bytes and create a key again with key translation, but it's costly. 
In some others (e.g. the key is not extractable or is sensitive), we cannot do 
that.
