1# BoringSSL
2
3BoringSSL is a fork of OpenSSL that is designed to meet Google's needs.
4
5Although BoringSSL is an open source project, it is not intended for general
6use, as OpenSSL is. We don't recommend that third parties depend upon it. Doing
7so is likely to be frustrating because there are no guarantees of API or ABI
8stability.
9
10Programs ship their own copies of BoringSSL when they use it and we update
11everything as needed when deciding to make API changes. This allows us to
12mostly avoid compromises in the name of compatibility. It works for us, but it
13may not work for you.
14
15BoringSSL arose because Google used OpenSSL for many years in various ways and,
16over time, built up a large number of patches that were maintained while
17tracking upstream OpenSSL. As Google's product portfolio became more complex,
18more copies of OpenSSL sprung up and the effort involved in maintaining all
19these patches in multiple places was growing steadily.
20
21Currently BoringSSL is the SSL library in Chrome/Chromium, Android (but it's
22not part of the NDK) and a number of other apps/programs.
