Hi,
According to latest NIST documentation, message should not be output in SHA MCT responses (which is happening now due to line 149 of src/acvp_hash.c):
https://pages.nist.gov/ACVP/draft-celi-acvp-sha.html#name-test-vector-responses
I saw that the requirement to output msg was removed in the following PR:
latest usnistgov/ACVP#627
Should this be removed then?
Thanks,
Pablo

Hi Pablo,
At initial glance, it does look like you are correct. Fortunately this should not impact any client testing since it seems the server just ignores the included value now.
I will do some double checking when I get a chance and make sure its safe to remove for the next release.
Thanks!
Andrew
