Research direction

Start by locating the packaging and project configuration for the AWS.EncryptionSDK and AWS.Cryptography.EncryptionSDK NuGet packages. Check their current target frameworks and compatibility requirements, then verify that adding netstandard2.0 preserves support for .NET Framework 4.5.2+ and .NET Core. Done means both packages are published with netstandard2.0 support.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Currently https://www.nuget.org/packages/AWS.EncryptionSDK, as well as https://www.nuget.org/packages/AWS.Cryptography.EncryptionSDK does not support netstandard2.0 target framework, which would make it usable from both .NET Framework and .NET core - while supporting .NET Framework 4.5.2+ and virtually all .NET core versions.

Is it possible to publish these packages with netstandard2.0 support? We are looking at using it in legacy .NET Framework 4.8 components.
