RFC 5869, "HMAC-based Extract-and-Expand Key Derivation Function (HKDF)", May 2010

Area Assignment: sec

Publication Format(s) : TEXT
Reported By: Dale R. Worley
Date Reported: 2017-10-20

Section 2.3 says:

(where the constant concatenated to the end of each T(n) is a
single octet.)

It should say:

(where the constant concatenated to the end of each T(n) is a
single octet with value mod(n, 256).)

Notes:

It's clear what the values of the octets are supposed to be, but the text doesn't actually say what they are.
