TLS is really the odd man out in > requiring contributory behavior. If I recall correctly it is simpler to reject the corresponding single output (namely 0) than the 8 inputs that map to zero. Admittedly my memory of the details is a bit fuzzy on this... Since the output is sensitive, all one has to do is a constant-time memcmp of the output with a 256-bit zero. Does TLS need to defend against this? It is not obvious that it does. -- Viktor.
