Actually I think there is a serious bug here. If you're doing an

Hah, I had forgotten that this thread started with your patch
to fix this exact bug :)

Could you confirm that you did copy this from ccm?

It would be nice if you could rewrite your loop in a form similar
to my patch to ccm.

Thanks,

These codes are copied from gcm and ccm at the same time. I am not sure
which has more components, but I will rewrite the gcm and ccm encryption
loop of sm4 as soon as possible.

Cheers,
