/**
* Utility class to verify keys against Key Overwriting (KO) attacks.
* This class of attacks is only possible if the attacker has access to the (encrypted) secret key material.
* To execute the attack, they would modify the unauthenticated parameters of the users public key.
* Using the modified public key in combination with the unmodified secret key material can then lead to the
* extraction of secret key parameters via weakly crafted messages.
