Review Summary

Reviewed `aws-lc/crypto/fipsmodule/ml_kem/mlkem_native_backend.h`, a short platform-gated header that conditionally includes AArch64 or x86_64 ML-KEM backend metadata for Linux and Apple builds. I found no concrete malicious or supply-chain indicators in this file: no install hooks, network or exfiltration logic, credential access, dynamic code loading, obfuscation, persistence, or hidden subprocess execution. Reviewed `aws-lc/crypto/pem/internal.h`, an internal C header that only declares two PEM helper functions (`PEM_proc_type` and `PEM_dek_info`) behind a C++ extern guard. I found no concrete malicious or supply-chain indicators in this file: there are no install hooks, network or exfiltration code, credential access, dynamic code loading, obfuscation, persistence, or hidden subprocess behavior here. Reviewed `aws-lc/crypto/x509/v3_akeya.c`, which only defines the `AUTHORITY_KEYID` ASN.1 structure and generates its standard parse/encode functions via OpenSSL-style macros. I found no concrete indicators of install hooks, network/exfiltration, credential access, dynamic code loading, obfuscation, persistence, or other supply-chain compromise behavior in this target file. Reviewed the C helper in `aws-lc/crypto/fipsmodule/fips_empty_main.c`, which is a minimal Windows FIPS build executable that prints a status message, calls `FIPS_mode()` to force libcrypto linkage and trigger power-on self-tests, then exits. I found no concrete indicators of install hooks, network or exfiltration, credential access, dynamic code loading, obfuscation, persistence, or other hidden payload behavior in this file. Reviewed `aws-lc/crypto/fipsmodule/ml_kem/mlkem/verify.c`, which only defines a volatile constant-time optimization blocker or compiles to an empty translation unit under feature flags. I found no concrete indicators of install hooks, network/exfiltration, credential access, dynamic code loading, obfuscation, persistence, or other supply-chain malicious behavior in this file.
