Review Summary

Reviewed `src/rsa.rs`, which contains RSA module wiring, constant bounds, a DER public-key parser, and type declarations/re-exports. I did not find concrete indicators of install hooks, network or exfiltration behavior, credential access, dynamic code loading, obfuscation, or persistence in this file. Reviewed the target Rust source `src/aead/gcm/clmul.rs`, which is an architecture-gated GHASH/GCM CLMUL/PMULL implementation wrapper for `ring`'s AEAD path. I checked for install-time hooks, network or exfiltration, credential access, dynamic code loading, obfuscation/deobfuscation, persistence, and other hidden payload behavior; none were present in this file. Reviewed `src/aead/sealing_key.rs`, a small Rust AEAD sealing-key wrapper that advances a nonce sequence and forwards to in-place encryption/tagging helpers. I checked for install hooks, network/exfiltration, credential access, dynamic code loading, obfuscation, persistence, and other hidden execution paths, and found no concrete malicious or supply-chain indicators in this file. Reviewed `src/io/der_writer.rs`, which contains DER TLV/length encoding helpers for writing positive integers and serializing values into a byte buffer. I found no concrete indicators of install-time execution, network or exfiltration, credential access, dynamic code loading, obfuscation, or persistence behavior in this file. Reviewed `src/polyfill/array_split_map.rs`, which is a small generic array-splitting helper for fixed-size slices and only destructures arrays before applying a caller-provided function. I found no concrete malicious or supply-chain indicators in this file: there are no install hooks, network or exfiltration behavior, credential access, dynamic code loading, obfuscation, or persistence mechanisms.
