This document proposes an enhancement on Tortue's standard for public key checksum:
https://github.com/Tortue95/Duniter_Paper_Wallet/blob/master/Duniter_Auth_Protocol.md
For compatibility, clients MAY accept checksum based on this last standard for user inputs.

When converting a public key to its binary representation, the length of the bytes array MUST be verified.
If the length of the array is inferior to 32, zero-bytes MUST be prepended.
- If the length of the array is inferior to 32, zero-bytes MUST be prepended.
- If the length of the array is superior to 32, leading zero-bytes MUST be removed.
- If there is one leading non-zero byte and length is superior to 32, then the public key is not valid.
```python
# convert public key string to bytes
pubkey_byte = bytearray(base58.b58decode(pubkey))
# prepend zero-bytes until the public key is 32 bytes long
while len(pubkey_byte) < 32:
pubkey_byte = bytearray(b"\x00") + pubkey_byte
# remove leading zero-bytes if length is superior to 32
while len(pubkey_byte) > 32:

del pubkey_byte[0]
# raise error if leading byte is not null

To compute the checksum:

for simplification we use a pubkey that is 32 bits long once decoded.
