# The security/boringssl/fips port

## boringssl-fips-20240407 – fork of OpenSSL that is designed to meet Google's needs

## Description

    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.

    This is the FIPS branch of boringssl used by Google where FIPS
    certification is required.
