The parameter <code>k</code> MUST be set to the first 16 bytes of the hash of
the block for which the filter is constructed. This ensures the key is

Since the value <code>N</code> is required to decode a GCS, a serialized GCS
includes it as a prefix, written as a <code>CompactSize</code>. Thus, the
