We only use unsigned integers, and there should be no unspecified formats 

(except Pour proofs, currently).

\subsection{Integers and Endianness}
Abstractly, integers have a signedness (signed or unsigned), and a bit length.
The limits are the same as for the usual two's complement system. All integers
in the publicly-visible \Zcash protocol are encoded in big endian two's
complement.
If unspecified, curve points, field elements, etc., are encoded according to the
crypto libraries the \Zcash implementation uses.
All integers visible in \Zcash-specific encodings are unsigned, have a fixed
bit length, and are encoded as big-endian.
