Description : BearSSL is an implementation of the SSL/TLS protocol (RFC
5246) written in C
BearSSL is an implementation of the SSL/TLS protocol (RFC 5246) written in C.
It aims at offering the following features:
- Be correct and secure. In particular, insecure protocol versions and choices
of algorithms are not supported, by design; cryptographic algorithm
implementations are constant-time by default.
- Be small, both in RAM and code footprint. For instance, a minimal server
implementation may fit in about 20 kilobytes of compiled code and 25 kilobytes
of RAM.
- Be highly portable. BearSSL targets not only “big” operating systems like
Linux and Windows, but also small embedded systems and even special contexts
like bootstrap code.
- Be feature-rich and extensible. SSL/TLS has many defined cipher suites and
extensions; BearSSL should implement most of them, and allow extra algorithm
implementations to be added afterwards, possibly from third parties
Library doesn't have compatible API with mainstream OpenSSL.
And it's not intended as an OpenSSL 1-1 replacement.
I'm using this software and I'm going to maintain using
https://salsa.debian.org/.
I need sponsor.
Please replace the exe removing patch with a Files-Excluded rule in d/copyright.
This is a repack then, which has to be reflected in the version string.
Else this looks good to me.
The usual process to ask for sponsors is filing an RFS. It will get more
attention then.
