 I guess we can make this a bit less painful, by partially encrypting the
 descriptor. Basically, by encrypting all the fields of the descriptor, but
 leaving the headers intact. And of course by enforcing a size limit.

 The current v2 descriptor has encrypted fields that can be used to store
 arbitrary information anyway (like the `introduction-points` encrypted-
 string field).
