Check some ASN1_STRING types in crypto/x509 This adds runtime checks that types which are aliases of ASN1_STRING are in fact the expected ASN.1 type. Not comprehensive -- I got the obvious ones from x509.h. These checks are not generally covered by unit tests, except for one which was easy to test as a sanity-check. Bug: 445 Change-Id: I8cd689b6b1e6121fce62c7f0ab25fee7e2a0b2ff Update-Note: Various X.509 functions will now fail given the wrong ASN1_STRING subtype.

BoringSSL is a fork of OpenSSL that is designed to meet Google's needs.
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.
Programs ship their own copies of BoringSSL when they use it and we update everything as needed when deciding to make API changes. This allows us to mostly avoid compromises in the name of compatibility. It works for us, but it may not work for you.
BoringSSL arose because Google used OpenSSL for many years in various ways and, over time, built up a large number of patches that were maintained while tracking upstream OpenSSL. As Google's product portfolio became more complex, more copies of OpenSSL sprung up and the effort involved in maintaining all these patches in multiple places was growing steadily.
Currently BoringSSL is the SSL library in Chrome/Chromium, Android (but it's not part of the NDK) and a number of other apps/programs.
