Description

Issue #16


Definitions of CKM_ECDSA_SHA224, CKM_ECDSA_SHA256, CKM_ECDSA_SHA384 and CKM_ECDSA_SHA512 are completely new in v2.40e1 headers.
They were not present in any older version and currently are not described in the docs.
This may be a leftover from v2.30 headers (see #2).

This is still an issue.
Option 1: remove CKM_ECDSA_SHA224, CKM_ECDSA_SHA256, CKM_ECDSA_SHA384 and CKM_ECDSA_SHA512 from the header.
Option 2: Add definitions in the document for these mechanism.
Option 3: Option 2 plus add definitions for the SHA3 equivalents.
Recommendation: Option 3
