As discussed we're looking at having a MIC token in the final message
that indicates the checksum of everything in the last token.

It's format currently is


* DER encoding of the mechanism OID
* 2 byte outer token type

Then for each inner token besides the MIC token:
* 4 byte type
*  value of the token

In particular, the length of the subtokens are not included.


I think we should either include the lengths in the MIC or have a
convincing argument why you can't move bytes around between one subtoken
and other by attacking the lengths. 

I think this is safe; I'd appreciate though if someone else would
explain why they think it's safe and see if that matches up with my
understanding.  Alternatively, say that you want the length included.
