Padding goes into the encrypt function and is going to come out of the decrypt
function.  Possibly derived_key_decrypt() should be checking that the padding
that comes out is actually a bunch of zeros.  Maybe we don't actually need to
get the padding out, but I'm not sure whether the crypto layer will
malfunction if we don't give it a buffer for the padding.
