Section 8.2.3 says:
The Description of SHA384_512PadMessage, on page 58, says: * Description: * According to the standard, the message must be padded to an * even 1024 bits. The first padding bit must be a '1'. The * last 128 bits represent the length of the original message. * All bits in between should be 0. This helper function will * pad the message according to those rules by filling the * Message_Block array accordingly. When it returns, it can be * assumed that the message digest has been computed. For clarity, it should say (cf. items (10) and (19) above): * Description: |* According to the standard, the message must be padded to the next |* proper multiple of 1024 bits. The first padding bit must be a '1'. * The last 128 bits represent the length of the original message. * All bits in between should be 0. This helper function will * pad the message according to those rules by filling the * Message_Block array accordingly. When it returns, it can be * assumed that the message digest has been computed.
