Summary

  • Replace the inline security policy with a thin pointer to the canonical
    coordinated vulnerability disclosure policy at
    https://www.wolfssl.com/.well-known/vulnerability-disclosure-policy.txt
  • Keep PGP key fingerprint, contact info, and report template reference
    in .github/SECURITY.md (what GitHub shows on the Security tab)
  • Delete SECURITY-POLICY.md (now redundant — canonical policy lives on
    the website)
  • Contact email is support@wolfssl.com, consistent with the canonical
    policy and the existing report template

The website policy is the single source of truth, maintained for CRA
compliance. The report template (SECURITY-REPORT-TEMPLATE.md) is
unchanged.

Replace inline SECURITY-POLICY.md with a thin pointer in
.github/SECURITY.md to the canonical policy at
wolfssl.com/.well-known/vulnerability-disclosure-policy.txt.

Keeps PGP key, contact info, and report template reference.
Removes SECURITY-POLICY.md (now redundant).
