+## FAQ
+### I want more algorithms, what do I do?
+Great! So do we! At a minimum, file an issue letting us know. If you want to file a Pull Request, we'd be happy to review and merge it when it's ready.
+### Who should consume this package directly?
+Are you writing C directly? Then you should.
+Are you using any other programming language? This functionality will be exposed via that language specific crt packages.
+### I found a security vulnerability in this package. What do I do?
+Do to the fact that this package is specifically performing cryptographic operations, please don't file a public issue. Instead, email aws-sdk-common-runtime@amazon.com, and we'll work with you directly.
