Move urandom and OS entropy support out of BCM BCM uses only passive entropy, in that from BCM's point of view, entropy is requested and obtained from an external source, and fed to BCM's CTR_DRBG as required. With this change entropy is always gathered in an OS specific manner outside of BCM by libcrypto, while the CTR_DRBG remains in BCM using that entropy. BCM functions (but not yet the tests!) now no longer use the public RAND_bytes function, but instead use BCM_rand_bytes which uses the BCM module CTR_DRBG. BCM_rand_bytes is in turn used by libcrypto to implement the public RAND_bytes function. All public RAND_ functions are now implemented in rand_extra. As part of this two new headers are introduced to start defining the interface boundary between libcrypto and BCM. crypto/bcm_support.h <- Functions implemented by libcrypto and used by bcm fipsmodule/bcm_interface.h <- Functions implemented by bcm and used by libcrypto.

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.

To file a security issue, use the Chromium process and mention in the report this is for BoringSSL. You can ignore the parts of the process that are specific to Chromium/Chrome.
