Section 16.1 says:

   [SP800-56A]
              NIST, "Recommendation for Pair-Wise Key Establishment
              Schemes Using Discrete Logarithm Cryptography", NIST
              Special Publication 800-56A Revision 3,
              DOI 10.6028/NIST.SP.800-56Ar, April 2018,
              <https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/SpecialPublications/
              nist.sp.800-56Ar3.pdf>.

It should say:

   [SP800-56A]
              NIST, "Recommendation for Pair-Wise Key Establishment
              Schemes Using Discrete Logarithm Cryptography", NIST
              Special Publication 800-56A Revision 3,
              DOI 10.6028/NIST.SP.800-56Ar, April 2018,
              <https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/SpecialPublications/nist.sp.800-56Ar3.pdf>.

Notes:

I noticed that Section 16.1 of RFC 9580 contains a broken link.

https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9580.html#section-16.1

Specifically, this entry is broken:

[SP800-56A] NIST, "Recommendation for Pair-Wise Key Establishment
Schemes Using Discrete Logarithm Cryptography", NIST Special
Publication 800-56A Revision 3, DOI 10.6028/NIST.SP.800-56Ar, April
2018, <https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/SpecialPublications/
nist.sp.800-56Ar3.pdf>.

The URL should be:

https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/SpecialPublications/nist.sp.800-56Ar3.pdf

That is, the link contains an extra space.

I've checked, and this error exists in both the HTML and the PDF
versions of the document.
