* The result should look like RSAPrivateKey or ECPrivateKey

* len must be more than 6
* byte 1 must be 0x30 (SEQUENCE tag)
* then allow for one to 3 length bytes
* then we must have 0x02 0x01 (INTEGER tag + length, for version)

* The result will be ASN.1 starting with a SEQUENCE tag, with 1 to 3
* length bytes (allow 4 to be sure) in all known use cases.

* Use that as heurisitic to try detecting password mismatchs.
