1. Encryption key is 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's stored in plain next to ciphertext in key file.
3. MAC is SHA3-256 of concatenation of ciphertext and last 16 bytes of scrypt derived key.
It's stored in plain next in the key file.

4. Plaintext is the EC private key bytes.
5. Encryption algo is AES 128 CBC [3][4]
6. CBC IV is 16 random bytes from CSPRNG.

It's stored in plain next in the key file.
7. Plaintext padding is PKCS #7 [5][6]
Encoding:
1. On disk, the ciphertext, MAC, salt and IV are encoded in a nested JSON object.
