A possible cause could be that ACVP is under-requesting output bits from KECCAK by a number equal to N, hence those bits remain "stuck at 0" in ACVP md results....

I ran the same test script on the v1.1.0.27 file you pointed out. It contains different test case data, but shows the same issue. I mentioned the current test file...

Yes, these updated files look good: no stuck-bits in internalProjection.json, and I confirm a match to my IUT for all cases within AFT and VOT test groups. Nice job on...

Do you believe your update to SHAKE will affect cSHAKE and KMAC validation results for the similar case of non-byte oriented outputs?

Returning to the output bit alignment issue, I could use confirmation that your intent is to shift the least-significant bits of "partial bytes" into the most-significant bits of the last...

I confirm cSHAKE test vectors use MSbit alignment of any trailing ( < 8 ) bits within the last byte, which is consistent with the (repaired) SHAKE validation files. My...

To wrap up on SHAKE, if you produce a SHAKE256 json file, I'd be happy to test with that. Your fix for SHAKE128 may be needed for SHAKE256. For cSHAKE,...

Hi guys, a belated happy new year to you! Any update on the fix for this issue?

Yes, I would benefit from an update just to SHAKE, with a future update to KMAC coming later.

Thanks guys - just downloading and testing these now.
