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.
