Thanks for checking that Patrick - looks fine to me, only 1.4 is there.

If the correct version is being installed and picked up, maybe there is something missing for that function definition in arm-ipsec-mb repo.
Wathsala, can you check that please?
For x86, we define the function in the header: lib/intel-ipsec-mb.h
And the implementation is in the C file: lib/x86_64/hmac_ipad_opad.c

Thanks,
Ciara
