@C2SP/wycheproof-reviewers I think this is a pretty easy review if someone has time. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Seems fine. One small suggestion if that makes sense to you.
Add mention to the vector headers that they implement Ascon-128, Ascon-128a, and Ascon-80pq v1.2, the final round submission to the NIST LWC competition. They are **not** interoperable with the SP 800-232 standardized algorithm. We should replace/augment these with SP 800-232 compatible vectors as follow-up. In the meantime, try to avoid potential confusion.
