Hi @GlennUL, it appears the issue is your fixedInfoPattern, "fixedInfoPattern":"uPartyInfo||vPartyInfo||t||l", is set with a t, which isn't valid. Please refer to https://pages.nist.gov/ACVP/draft-hammett-acvp-kas-kdf-hkdf.txt, section 7.3.1. FixedInfoPatternConstruction for valid settings. I will look into updating the error message and where it's caught. Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention!

Hi @jbrock24 Thanks for the info. I removed the t and everything went through successfully.

Quick head's up, double checked the current version on Dev and it's relaying the correct error. Sorry again, the fix will go out with .32 hopefully by the end of this week, but maybe into the early part of next. I'll reply here when it's published for use and close this issue.

Also, t was supported but it was removed.
