The goal of the ring project is to be much safer than OpenSSL without any notable decrease in performance. That is, my goal is to give you memory safety "for free" if you switch from OpenSSL/BoringSSL to ring. In some cases it is better than free because we end up being faster.

The assembly code in ring is some of the most heavily-tested code in the world. It's fuzzed pretty much continuously in various projects that use it, and a bunch of testing has been done on it. It is from BoringSSL, and much of it is shared with OpenSSL and/or Linux kernel. As we are able to replace the assembly code with safer code, we'll continue to do so, just like we've replaced most of the C code with which we started.

thank you for your work in this. we've been using rust-tls/ ring for some time now in our product.
