 Yes, to some extent. The implementation provides a certain amount of
 robustness. This library was used in their DP5[0] implementation (used for
 privately retrieving user presence). I think we should consider adding
 something like this to rend-spec-ng. Coincidently, I started thinking
 about a modified design on the airplane, but I don't have a proposal yet.
