Contributions summary:Daryl primarily focused on hardening the security aspects of the AWS-LC cryptographic library. Their work included modifying code to include security-focused compiler flags, updating the reseed interval for FIPS mode, and modifying the execution order of self-tests and integrity checks to meet FIPS requirements. They also addressed a compilation issue related to the use of `inttypes.h` on older compilers, which, while not directly security related, contributes to the project's robustness.
