+[0]. This is an attribute to be used in PKCS#8 privateKeyInfo structure
+as an extension. It holds parameters related to private key validation
+for provable private keys as in FIPS186-4. When the OID is present it
+contains a single DER encoded value of the following.
+
+ProvableSeed ::= SEQUENCE {
+  algorithm OBJECT IDENTIFIER, -- the OID of the hash algorithm used in the key generation
+  seed OCTET STRING -- the seed used in key generation
+}
