Contributions summary:Carie contributed to the wolfSSL library by adding and modifying unit tests within the `tests/api.c` file. These tests specifically focused on verifying the functionality of the `wc_SignatureGetSize` API function for ECC and RSA signatures, testing the size of the signature. The user's commits involved updating the testing framework, and modifying existing test to verify key signing functions. These changes directly impact the cryptographic functionality and security aspects of the library.
