Feature Request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently the API_EncryptBallot method expects a uint64. A uint64 is likely not sufficiently large enough to prevent collisions in an arbitrarily large election. Furthermore the context of this value is external to the library and is used only for associating an external unique identifier with the ballot tracking id.

Describe the solution you'd like
This identifier could be a string or byte array to improve flexibility of this field
