+ X963KDF (ANSI X9.63 Key Derivation Function) is defined by ANSI
+ in the `ANSI X9.63:2001`_ document, to be used to derive keys for use
+ after a Key Exchange negotiation operation.
+
+ SECG in `SEC 1 v2.0`_ recommends that
+ :class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.kdf.concatkdf.ConcatKDFHash` be
+ used for new projects. This KDF should only be used for backwards
+ compatibility with pre-existing implementations.
