Description
Cleans up the handling of cipher seed message authentication codes (MACs) to be more idiomatic.
Motivation and Context
A cipher seed has an associated MAC that is checked during decryption in constant time. Rather than using
Choice::unwrap_u8
as is currently done, this PR uses the more idiomaticInto<bool>
onChoice
to be more resistant to mistakes or misuse. It also changes the logic slightly to avoid "failing open" by no longer returning anOk
at the end of the function by default, which helps to simplify the code and make the intent more clear.How Has This Been Tested?
Existing tests pass.
What process can a PR reviewer use to test or verify this change?
Check that the updated logic matches the existing logic.
