# dev.boringcrypto branch
|
|
|
|
We have been working inside Google on a fork of Go that uses
|
|
BoringCrypto (the core of [BoringSSL][]) for various crypto
|
|
primitives, in furtherance of some [work related to FIPS 140-2][sp].
|
|
We have heard that some external users of Go would be interested in
|
|
this code as well, so this branch holds the patches to make Go use
|
|
BoringCrypto.

|
|
|
|
Unlike typical dev branches, we do not intend any eventual merge of
|
|
this code into the master branch. Instead we intend to maintain in
|
|
this branch the latest release plus BoringCrypto patches.
|
|
|
|
To be clear, we are not making any statements or representations about
|
|
the suitability of this code in relation to the FIPS 140-2 standard.
|
|
Interested users will have to evaluate for themselves whether the code
|
|
is useful for their own purposes.
