Cryptography:
-1. Encryption key is scrypt derived key from user passphrase. Scrypt parameters
+1. Encryption key is first 16 bytes of SHA3-256 of first 16 bytes of
+ scrypt derived key from user passphrase. Scrypt parameters
(work factors) [1][2] are defined as constants below.
-2. Scrypt salt is 32 random bytes from CSPRNG. It is appended to ciphertext.
-3. Checksum is SHA3 of the private key bytes.
-4. Plaintext is concatenation of private key bytes and checksum.
-5. Encryption algo is AES 256 CBC [3][4]
-6. CBC IV is 16 random bytes from CSPRNG. It is appended to ciphertext.
+2. Scrypt salt is 32 random bytes from CSPRNG.

+3. MAC is SHA3-256 of concatenation of ciphertext and last 16 bytes of scrypt derived key.
+4. Plaintext is the EC private key bytes.

7. Plaintext padding is PKCS #7 [5][6]
Encoding:

cat a key file to see the structure.
2. byte arrays are base64 JSON strings.
3. The EC private key bytes are in uncompressed form [7].
They are a big-endian byte slice of the absolute value of D [8][9].
-4. The checksum is the last 32 bytes of the plaintext byte array and the
- private key is the preceeding bytes.
