/**
 * @name Potential usage of an object implementing ICryptoTransform class in a way that would be unsafe for concurrent threads.
 * @description An instance of a class that either implements or has a field of type System.Security.Cryptography.ICryptoTransform is being captured by a lambda, 
 *              and used in what seems to be a thread initialization method.
 *              Using an instance of this class in concurrent threads is dangerous as it may not only result in an error, 
 *              but under some circumstances may also result in incorrect results.
 * @kind problem
 * @problem.severity warning
 * @precision medium
 * @id cs/thread-unsafe-icryptotransform-captured-in-lambda
