   * truncated to 256 bits). This makes sense in two ways: First, the extraction part is where we need a
   * stronger hash function due to the unconventional demand from the hash function in the extraction
   * setting. Second, as shown in Section 6, using HMAC with a truncated output as an extractor
   * allows to prove the security of HKDF under considerably weaker assumptions on the underlying
