Description

I am working towards packaging FIPS builds of aws-lc for nixpkgs. I am tentatively targeting two versions:

**validated**: Has a NIST validation certificate, currently AWS-LC-FIPS-2.0.0.
**recommended**: Latest release, currently AWS-LC-FIPS-3.3.0

The rationale is that some may demand a validated version while others will demand a version with bugfixes.

Getting packages and updates merged into nixpkgs can take a long time so I want to take advantage of the automatic version update features of nixpkgs. Automatically picking up the latest AWS-LC-FIPS version will be easy, however I seek a reliable machine readable way to detect the current _validated_ version.

So, is there currently a reliable way to get the NIST validated version? If not, can we add one?
