Populate SMF 82 40 CMACZERO fingerprint for more key types

Having a single key fingerprint or checksum in the SMF data leads to collisions when trying to validate that the same key is not present in multiple environments. Having a second fingerprint in the SMF 82 40 records would help us to determine whet...
