/**
 * Generate a secure salt from a user ID and a private key.
 * @param userId The unique, immutable identifier of the user.
 * @returns The generated salt.
 *
 * IMPORTANT: We use the userId instead of editable fields like username for salt generation.
 * This is crucial for maintaining consistent encryption/decryption capabilities:
 *
 * 1. Immutability: The userId doesn't change, unlike usernames which can be edited.
 *    If we used the username, changing it would result in a different salt,
 *    making it impossible to decrypt previously encrypted data.
 *
 * 2. Consistency: Using the userId ensures that the salt (and thus the derived encryption key)
 *    remains the same throughout the user's lifetime in the system.
 *
 * 3. Security: The userId is typically not known to the user, adding an extra layer of security.
 *
 * Example scenario:
 * - User signs up with username "ABC69" and is assigned userId "12345"
 * - We generate a salt and encrypt their private key using this salt
 * - Later, the user changes their username to "XYZ107"
 * - If we had used the username for salt generation, we'd no longer be able to decrypt
 *   their private key because the new salt would be different
 * - By using the unchanging userId, we maintain the ability to decrypt regardless of username changes
 *
 * This approach ensures that we can always decrypt the user's encrypted data,
 * even if they change their editable profile information.
