Section 8.3 says:
The Description of hmacResult, on top of page 77, says: * Description: * This function will return the N-byte message digest into the * Message_Digest array provided by the caller. * NOTE: The first octet of hash is stored in the 0th element, * the last octet of hash in the Nth element. It should perhaps just say: * Description: * This function will return the N-byte message digest into the * Message_Digest array provided by the caller. Rationale: Cf. items (9), (16), (17), (22), (29), (30), and (33) above. Full replacement text for the last two lines is deemed unnecessary.
