| # dev.boringcrypto branch |
| |
| This branch is no more. `GOEXPERIMENT=boringcrypto` on the standard branch does the job now. |
| |
| Previous notice: |
| |
| 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. |
