Refactor ECDH key exchange to make it asymmetrical Previously, SSL_ECDH_METHOD consisted of two methods: one to produce a public key to be sent to the peer, and another to produce the shared key upon receipt of the peer's message. This API does not work for NEWHOPE, because the client-to-server message cannot be produced until the server's message has been received by the client. Solve this by introducing a new method which consumes data from the server key exchange message and produces data for the client key exchange message.

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