Why only checking for OUT_OF_PLACE? As far as cipher algorithm is NULL,
only digest should be checked.
Also, looking at the code, there is this same check, but with hardcoded tag
length.
Could you rearrange the code to have less lines and generic?
Something like:
<pseudo-code>
if (!verify)
check_digest
if (cipher_algo != NULL)
check_ciphertext/plaintext
check op status
</pseudo-code>
Also, I think this change is applicable in test_mixed_auth_cipher_sgl.
Thanks,
Pablo
