Well, probably because the author himself discourages you from using it in anything serious. Crypto libraries need a lot of testing and reviews by experts, which BearSSL doesn't have yet. Thomas Pornin is an incredibly smart guy when it comes to crypto and BearSSL is my crypto library of choice for small (mostly embedded) projects, too. Projects like this might help to get it the attention it needs.
- intelVISA 4y agoI use BearSSL in a few toy projects, would love to see it get more traction and eventually some proper cryptographic audit if it moves out of alpha.
