This isn't in itself an HMAC; it's the public point of the P-256 key
derived from the null seed (effectively it's a public key).  It's used
to exchange secret information with the TPM, like a salt for the HMAC
sessions but it's a thing in its own right (and is bound to the null
name).  I suppose null_key_x/y is better.
