Is it the same size? It looks considerably smaller to me (6*4 bytes
versus 8 bytes).

An "epilogue" occurs at the end, but it seems to be at the beginning
here (that would be a "prologue").

I'd say that a comment of what it encodes would be good to have for
context, but the source tree has `OID_TPMSealedData` in a header with
the value in a comment there, so that seems good enough to me.

Should it, perhaps be `const` too?
