Some embedded systems (e.g., system-on-chip based devices) need to use 
FIPS 140-validated modules for crypto, and companies might standardize
on certain libraries across projects to minimize the number of
validations required, so working with libraries like this would
be helpful on enabling the adoption of NTS.
