 asn raised concerns with AES-256 specifically regarding the size of the
 output and how it will influence the final size of the descriptor. Let's
 figure that one out and then fix our code.

 FWIW, after all there are no serious concerns about AES-256 and the size
 of the output, so I think it's fine to use AES-256.
