fips-20260721: cherry-pick Make BoringSSL handling of "unusable" EchConfigLists configurable (cherry picked from commit 59e89e9132799b287fea2b5c95988621a1365130) Currently, BoringSSL will silently ignore EchConfigsLists it considers "unusable". An EchConfigList is considered "unusable" if we are in one of the following scenarios: 1. The max TLS version supported by the client is < 1.3 2. No EchConfig provided in the EchConfigList is supported by BoringSSL. This happens when every EchConfig provided contains an unsupported/unrecognized cyphers/parameters (e.g., an unknown HPKE Key Encapsulation Mechanism). In these scenarios, instead of falling back onto GREASE ECH (if enabled), return an error to the caller. The caller can then decide to either retry with an empty EchConfigList or fail the connection.

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.
