 27   * * The octet-length of the SEQUENCE must be encoded as 1 or 2 octets. It is not
 28   *   required to be encoded as one octet if it is less than 256, as DER would require.
 29   * * The octet-length of the SEQUENCE must not be greater than the remaining
 30   *   length of the key encoding, but need not match it (i.e. the encoding may contain
 31   *   junk after the encoded SEQUENCE).
 32   * * The privateKey OCTET STRING is zero-filled on the left to 32 octets.
 33   * * Anything after the encoding of the privateKey OCTET STRING is ignored, whether
 34   *   or not it is validly encoded DER.
 35   *
 36   * out32 must point to an output buffer of length at least 32 bytes.
