+# An EKpub is a TPM2B_PUBLIC format payload.  For an RSA public key the
+# TPM2B_PUBLIC for an EK public key can vary in two ways:
+#
+#  - the exponent, if it is the default 65537, can be written either as
+#    the all-zero exponent (which indicates that the exponent is the
+#    default exponent), or as 0x00010001 (65537)
+#
+#  - the RSA scheme, which for a restricted decrypt-only key (as all EKs
+#    are) must be OEAP, and this can be written as the null algorithm ID
+#    or as the actual algorithm ID
+#
+# Since we want to identify enrolled hosts by the hash of their EKpubs
+# (which we call "EKhash"), we may need to normalize the enrollee's
+# EKpub TPM2B_PUBLIC payload.  The swTPM will use the all-zero exponent,
+# and the null alg ID for the RSA scheme, while at least one dTPM writes
+# the actual exponent (65537) but thankfully also uses the null alg ID
+# for the RSA scheme.
