Review Summary

Reviewed `crypto/fipsmodule/ec/ecp_nistz384.inl`, which implements P-384 point doubling, addition, and scalar multiplication in constant-time style for the FIPS module. I checked for install hooks, network or exfiltration paths, credential access, dynamic code loading, obfuscation/decoding, persistence, and other hidden payload behavior; none were present in this file. Reviewed `crypto/fipsmodule/aes/asm/ghash-neon-armv8.pl`, a Perl-based assembly generator for ARMv8 GHASH/GCM routines. I checked for install-time hooks, hidden subprocess execution beyond the expected build-time `arm-xlate.pl` pipe, network/exfiltration, credential access, dynamic code loading, obfuscation, and persistence; no concrete malicious or supply-chain indicators were found. Reviewed `crypto/fipsmodule/ec/p256_table.h`, which is a generated static P-256 precomputation header containing only constant elliptic-curve table data and conditional compilation for 32-bit vs 64-bit layouts. I found no concrete malicious or supply-chain indicators: no install hooks, network or exfiltration logic, credential access, dynamic code loading, obfuscation, or persistence behavior. Reviewed the generated `Cargo.toml` for install-time hooks, hidden execution paths, network/exfiltration behavior, credential access, dynamic code loading, obfuscation, and persistence. The manifest is a standard Rust package declaration with a build script reference and ordinary dependency/version metadata, but it does not itself contain concrete malicious or supply-chain indicators in any of those categories.
