David Benjamin 63c79122e0 Remove the redundant version check in ssl_session_cmp.
This partitions the session ID space of the internal cache by version,
which is nominally something we want, but we must check the version
externally anyway for both tickets and external session cache. That
makes this measure redundant. (Servers generate session IDs and 2^256 is
huge, so there would never accidentally be a collision.)

This cuts down on the "key" in the internal session cache, which will
simplify adding something like an lh_SSL_SESSION_retrieve_key function.
(LHASH is currently lax about keys because it can freely stack-allocate
partially-initialized structs. C++ is a bit more finicky about this.)

BoringSSL SSL Tests

This directory contains BoringSSL's protocol-level test suite.

Testing a TLS implementation can be difficult. We need to produce invalid but sufficiently correct handshakes to get our implementation close to its edge cases. TLS's cryptographic steps mean we cannot use a transcript and effectively need a TLS implementation on the other end. But we do not wish to litter BoringSSL with options for bugs to test against.

Instead, we use a fork of the Go crypto/tls package, heavily patched with configurable bugs. This code, along with a test suite and harness written in Go, lives in the runner directory. The harness runs BoringSSL via a C/C++ shim binary which lives in this directory. All communication with the shim binary occurs with command-line flags, sockets, and standard I/O.

This strategy also ensures we always test against a second implementation. All features should be implemented twice, once in C for BoringSSL and once in Go for testing. If possible, the Go code should be suitable for potentially upstreaming. However, sometimes test code has different needs. For example, our test DTLS code enforces strict ordering on sequence numbers and has controlled packet drop simulation.

To run the tests manually, run go test from the runner directory. It takes command-line flags found at the top of runner/runner.go. The -help option also works after using go test -c to make a runner.test binary first.

If adding a new test, these files may be a good starting point:

  • runner/runner.go: the test harness and all the individual tests.
  • runner/common.go: contains the Config and ProtocolBugs struct which control the Go TLS implementation's behavior.
  • test_config.h, test_config.cc: the command-line flags which control the shim's behavior.
  • bssl_shim.cc: the shim binary itself.

For porting the test suite to a different implementation see PORTING.md.
