Summary

The following usage causes undefined behavior. ```rust let kp: ntru::types::KeyPair = …; kp.get_public().export(Default::default()) ```

When compiled with debug assertions, the code above will trigger a `attempt to subtract with overflow` panic before UB occurs. Other mistakes (e.g. using `EncParams` from a different key) may always trigger UB.

Likely, older versions of this crate are also affected, but have not been tested.
