Another option, write:
"Same as input."
in the other two columns - so one doesn't have to look closely at some 30
characters of hex to prove to themselves the inputs and outputs are indeed
identical.

Would do it elsewhere for consistency - it also does make the case stand
out which I think is a plus and part of the point of the table.
