>From 5385865b3f44d331f91c6786a2e7f4e2fb4d8cb2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephan Mueller <stephan.mueller@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2020 08:12:54 +0200 Subject: SP800-56A rev3 section 5.7.1.2 step 2 mandates that the validity of the calculated shared secret is verified before the data is returned to the caller. Thus, the export function and the validity check functions are reversed. In addition, the sensitive variables of priv and rand_z are zeroized.
