I think the audit report pointed to replacing the
32on this line. However, I don't agree with the report suggestion. There should be a new defined constantCX_SHA3_256_SIZE(also equal to 32). SHA256 refers to SHA-2, while here we are working with SHA-3 -
The line modified in this PR should actually remain 32, or should be replaced by another new constant (the elliptic curve order size), otherwise the check doesn't make sense from a cryptographic perspective. In this specific case, all constants happen to be 32 and the code passes, but if we evolve the code to support more curves/hashing, the code would become incorrect (EDIT: after thinking more on this, it can be fine to check against the expected hash output only, if the later signing function checks for curve/hash compatibility)

I can make a minor suggestion PR in a few hours to clean up the magic numbers from a cryptographic point of a view. It would only improve the code readability, but wouldn't have any functional change on the current code.
