Summary0010043: Better describe the content of "info" field in ECC Key Derivation algorithm
Description

In section 6.6.7, page 64.
The "Step 3: Expand" describes the recursive algorithm, which makes use of an "info" argument.
The field is described as "Info is a sequence of bytes;", which is not very helpful.

It is well hidden in the body text, that "info" is ServerSalt or ClientSalt, depending on if you derive the Client Keys or Server Keys,
right below the tables which describe the offset of key material extraction.

You should update the field description like:
"Info is the ServerSalt when deriving Client Keys, or ClientSalt when deriving Server Keys."
