  "github_readme_excerpt": "# AWS libcrypto (AWS-LC)\n\nAWS-LC is a general-purpose cryptographic library maintained by the AWS Cryptography\nteam for AWS and their customers. It \u0456s based on code from the Google BoringSSL project\nand the OpenSSL project.\n\nAWS-LC contains portable C implementations of algorithms needed for TLS and common\napplications. For performance critical algorithms, optimized assembly versions are\nincluded for x86 and ARM.\n\n## Quickstart for Amazon Linux 2\n\nAWS-LC\u2019s libcrypto is a C library and needs a C compiler. AWS-LC\u0027s libssl is a\nC++ library and needs a C++ compiler.\n\nFork AWS-LC on GitHub and run the following commands to build AWS-LC with optimizations\nand debug info, run all tests, and install it:\n```bash\nsudo yum install cmake3 ninja-build clang perl golang\ngit clone https://github.com/${YOUR_GITHUB_ACCOUNT_NAME}/aws-lc.git\nmkdir aws-lc-build \u0026\u0026 cd aws-lc-build\ncmake3 -GNinja \\\n    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo \\\n    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../aws-lc-install \\\n    ../aws-lc\nninja-build run_tests \u0026\u0026 ninja-build install\ncd ../aws-lc-install/\nls *\n```\nSee [Building.md](https://github.com/aws/aws-lc/blob/main/BUILDING.md) for more\ninformation about required dependencies and build options. If you\u2019re interested in\ngetting involved [open an issue](https://github.com/aws/aws-lc/issues/new/choose) to discuss your plan.\n[Contributing.md](https://github.com/aws/aws-lc/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) has\ninfo for how to specifically make the change and get it reviewed by AWS-LC maintainers.\nIf you just want to use AWS-LC, see our existing documentation in the public header\nfiles. If you\u2019re moving your application from OpenSSL, see the\n[porting guide](https://github.com/aws/aws-lc/blob/main/PORTING.md)\nfor more information.\n\n## Why AWS-LC?\n\nAWS-LC\u0027s goal is to maintain a secure libcrypto that is compatible with software and\napplications used at AWS. AWS-LC also serves as the new home for the AWS Cryptography\nteam to publish open source contributions and enhancements that are submit",
