Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
FWIW, it could also have been:
return src is not null ? src.AsSpan().ToArray() : null;and let span's ToArray handle the empty case via Array.Empty.

CloneByteArrayis used heavily in S.S.Cryptography to create defensive copies of byte arrays. This is to avoid exposing any kind of mutability to callers.Clonehowever appears to create a newbyte[]for empty byte arrays every time. Empty arrays are not uncommon. It could be for a CNG property, it could be for key parameters, or otherAsnEncodedData.If its empty, just return the identity to save the allocation.
