+/** SHA256 counter tests
+
+The tests verify that the SHA256 counter doesn't wrap around at message length
+2^i bytes for i = 20, ..., 33. This wide range aims at being independent of the
+implementation of the counter and it catches multiple natural 32-bit overflows
+(e.g., counting bits, counting bytes, counting blocks, ...).
+
+The test vectors have been generated using following Python script which relies
+on https://github.com/cloudtools/sha256/ (v0.3 on Python v3.10.2).
