* TLS 1.2 uses a custom pseudorandom function (PRF) for key schedule,
* specified in Section 5 of RFC 5246. It is based on HMAC and can be
* used with either SHA-256 or SHA-384.
*
* For the application to TLS-1.2, the salt and label arguments passed
* to psa_key_derivation() are what's called 'seed' and 'label' in RFC 5246,

* concatenation of ServerHello.Random + ClientHello.Random,
* while the label is "key expansion".
*
* For example, `PSA_ALG_TLS12_PRF(PSA_ALG_SHA256)` represents the
* TLS 1.2 PRF using HMAC-SHA-256.
