The name *ring* comes from the fact that *ring* started as a subset of
BoringSSL, and *"ring"* is a substring of "Bo*ring*SSL". Almost all the code in
*ring* comes from BoringSSL, and BoringSSL is derived from OpenSSL. In general
an application that uses the subset of BoringSSL APIs that *ring* supports
should work identically if it is recompiled and relinked with BoringSSL
instead. *ring* tracks upstream changes to BoringSSL. Several patches that
were developed for *ring* have already been integrated upstream in BoringSSL.
