How does BoringSSL compare to LibreSSL? (http://www.libressl.org/ http://www.libressl.org/)
Both projects seem to have a similar goal, that is, throwing the crap out of OpenSSL for security reasons.
- toyg 11y agoBoringSSL caters first and foremost to Google's interests; LibreSSL caters to OpenBSD's interests. Either choice affected the final result in terms of what-can-run-where.
- tptacek 11y agoBoringSSL seems like the more ambitious project, LibreSSL the more pragmatic.
- glass- 11y agoLibreSSL is mostly a drop-in replacement for OpenSSL, while BoringSSL has removed things that some applications will depend on. OSes shouldn't/couldn't replace OpenSSL for BoringSSL (the article says as much) but could replace OpenSSL with LibreSSL (some already have).
