There's embedded copies of sha1, sha256, sha512 in the upstream package:
https://github.com/libimobiledevice/libimobiledevice-
glue/tree/master/src

I haven't yet looked at our version of the package.

The libimobiledevice library is licensed LGPL; the libtomcrypt code has
been placed in the public domain.

I'm sure our certifications team would much prefer if this could be
switched to use OpenSSL instead so that we can rely upon an already-
certified cryptography implementation. What would it look like to switch
this package to relying upon some already-certified cryptography?
(Upstream may or may not want to link against OpenSSL, not everyone is
prepared to treat it as a "system library". They may also not wish to
use the OpenSSL APIs, not everyone is prepared to like those.)

Thanks
