About:
GoBoring is a specialized distribution of the Go programming language that incorporates Google's BoringCrypto library. It provides FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic primitives for applications requiring compliance with U.S. federal security standards. This enables developers to build Go applications that meet strict regulatory requirements.
Key Features:
  • FIPS 140-2 compliant cryptography
  • Drop-in replacement for standard Go
  • BoringCrypto backend integration
  • Official Google BoringCrypto branch
Use Cases:
  • Federal government applications requiring FIPS compliance
  • Financial services with strict security regulations
  • Enterprise software needing validated crypto modules
Alternatives:
  • Standard Go – Standard Go uses non-validated crypto; GoBoring provides FIPS compliance
  • OpenSSL bindings – Requires C interop; GoBoring provides native Go crypto implementation
