There appears to be a slight error in the hash macro description for Rounds 3 & 4. The description is as follows:/* Round 3. / / Let [abcd k s t] denote the operation a = b + ((a + H(b,c,d) + X[k] + T[i]) <<< s). / / Do the following 16 operations. */The problem is in '[abcd k s t]'...the t should be an i. The problem is the same for round 4.
