Implementers of this interface provide a globally unique reference to themselves.
The ReferenceProvider interface is used to create a unique, cryptographic
reference to an object. This is particularly useful for distributed systems
where objects need to be uniquely identified across networks or storage
systems.
The reference is derived from a cryptographic digest of the object's
serialized form, ensuring that the reference uniquely identifies the
object's contents.
