prng.21a20e The prng self test data test for the SHA-512 mode failed

Explanation

The pseudo-random number device driver is not operational because the self test failed. After processing a published National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) test vector for the Deterministic Random Bit Generator (DRBG) algorithm, the device driver did not produce the expected pseudo-random data. This failure might indicate that the cryptographic software or hardware is not working correctly. The processed NIST test vector was: Hash Drbg, Sha-512, Count #0.
