I was thinking originally just adding memcpy(secure_buf, secure_hdr,
sizeof(secure_hdr)) would save all the churn.. but anyways.. we save
allocating secure_hdr struct.. not a big saving, but better code
anyways..

here and below:

s/sizeof(var)/sizeof(*var) instead of sizeof(struct ... ) is probably
all the change we need? rather than converting it to sizeof(struct ..)?
same below. this would allow (theoretically), that the structure
name to change for secure_hdr and there would be less churn? not that it
matters here.. just a style thing..

Either way:
