Description

Several base classes for crypto algorithms contain sanity checks that never get executed in children classes, which is misleading and could lead to inconsistent error reporting across implementations.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Identify the base classes with sanity checks and check which child classes fail to execute them. Ensure child classes call the base class methods or implement the checks directly.
