I am deciding to use https://go-boringcrypto.storage.googleapis.com/go1.14.15b4.linux-amd64.tar.gz.

I want to know which exact NIST CMVP certificate number will be applicable for the BoringCrypto module this version has?

From quick search on NIST I can find these certs -

a) 3753 b) 3678 c) 3318 d) 2964

Is there a way to find this? This will be helpful if later we decide to upgrade and use some other version.

TLDR; Answer is option (a) - 3753.

Here is the process to find the CMVP for your go+boringcrypto binary -

  1. Download the binary that you want to use using this link - https://go-boringcrypto.storage.googleapis.com/go1.14.15b4.linux-amd64.tar.gz. (Note: in my project I am using 1.14.15b4, this could be different number in your case)
  2. Unzip it and find file on this path - go/src/crypto/internal/boring/build/build.sh look for these lines -
# Following http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/140sp/140sp2964.pdf page 18.
if [ ! -e $chroot/boringssl-24e5886c0edfc409c8083d10f9f1120111efd6f5.tar.xz ]; then
    wget -O $chroot/boringssl-24e5886c0edfc409c8083d10f9f1120111efd6f5.tar.xz https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-boringssl-docs/fips/boringssl-24e5886c0edfc409c8083d10f9f1120111efd6f5.tar.xz
  1. Link for nist cert is - http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/140sp/140sp2964.pdf and version of boringssl is - 24e5886c0edfc409c8083d10f9f1120111efd6f5 , which is matching with the version mentioned in the cert.
  2. In case these lines are not present in your go/src/crypto/internal/boring/build/build.sh file, it will be present in Dockerfile on this path go/src/crypto/internal/boring/build/build.sh.
