Note that the [[?MULTIBASE]] specification is not yet a standard and is
subject to change. There might be some use cases for this data format
where <code><b>public</b>KeyMultibase</code> is defined, to allow for
expression of public keys, but <code><b>private</b>KeyMultibase</code>
is not defined, to protect against accidental leakage of secret keys.
