Rewrite ECPrivateKey serialization. Functions which lose object reuse and need auditing: - d2i_ECParameters - d2i_ECPrivateKey This adds a handful of bytestring-based APIs to handle EC key serialization. Deprecate all the old serialization APIs. Notes: - An EC_KEY has additional state that controls its encoding, enc_flags and conv_form. conv_form is left alone, but enc_flags in the new API is an explicit parameter. - d2i_ECPrivateKey interpreted its T** argument unlike nearly every other d2i function. This is an explicit EC_GROUP parameter in the new function. - The new specified curve code is much stricter and should parse enough to uniquely identify the curve. - I've not bothered with a new version of i2d_ECParameters. It just writes an OID. This may change later when decoupling from the giant OID table. - Likewise, I've not bothered with new APIs for the public key since the EC_POINT APIs should suffice. - Previously, d2i_ECPrivateKey would not call EC_KEY_check_key and it was possible for the imported public and private key to mismatch. It now calls it. BUG=499653 Change-Id: I30b4dd2841ae76c56ab0e1808360b2628dee0615 Reviewed-on: https://boringssl-review.googlesource.com/6859 Reviewed-by: Adam Langley <agl@google.com>
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.
