Limit SharedSecret to 32 byte buffer

The `SharedSecret` uses sha256 to hash the secret, this implies the
secret is 32 bytes of data.

Currently we use a buffer of 256 bytes, this seems to be unneeded.

Change the implementation to use a 32 byte buffer. This simplifies the
API and implementation quite considerably.
