# dev.boringcrypto branch
|
|
|
|
We have been working inside Google on a fork of Go that uses
|
|
BoringCrypto (the core of [BoringSSL](https://boringssl.googlesource.com/boringssl/)) for various crypto primitives, in
|
|
furtherance of some [work related to FIPS 140-2](http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/140sp/140sp2964.pdf). We have heard that
|
|
some external users of Go would be interested in this code as well, so
|
|
I intend to create a new branch dev.boringcrypto that will hold
|
|
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
|
|
that branch the latest release plus BoringCrypto patches. In this
|
|
sense it is a bit like dev.typealias holding go1.8+type alias 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.
