According to SP800-56A section 5.6.2.1, the public key to be processed for the DH operation shall be checked for appropriateness. The check shall covers the full verification test in case the domain parameter Q is provided as defined in SP800-56A section 5.6.2.3.1. If Q is not provided, the partial check according to SP800-56A section 5.6.2.3.2 is performed. The full verification test requires the presence of the domain parameter Q. Thus, the patch adds the support to handle Q. It is permissible to not provide the Q value as part of the domain parameters. This implies that the interface is still backwards-compatible where so far only P and G are to be provided. However, if Q is provided, it is imported. Without the test, the NIST ACVP testing fails. After adding this check, the NIST ACVP testing passes. Testing without providing the Q domain parameter has been performed to verify the interface has not changed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
