BoringSSL
https://boringssl.googlesource.com/boringssl/
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.

GmSSL
GmSSL is an open source cryptographic toolkit that provide first level support of Chinese national cryptographic algorithms and protocols which specified in the GM/T serial standards. As a branch of the OpenSSL project, GmSSL provides API level compatibility with OpenSSL and maintains all the functionalities. Existing projects such as Apache web server can be easily ported to GmSSL with minor modification and a simple rebuild. Since the first release in late 2014, GmSSL has been selected as one of the six recommended cryptographic projects by Open Source China and the winner of the 2015 Chinese Linux Software Award.
Libgcrypt
https://www.gnu.org/software/libgcrypt/

Its goal is to provide all of the core operations needed to build higher-level cryptographic tools.
Sodium supports a variety of compilers and operating systems, including Windows (with MinGW or Visual Studio, x86 and x86_64), iOS and Android.
Monocypher
Monocypher is an easy to use crypto library. It is:
- Small. Sloccount counts under 2000 lines of code, small enough to allow audits. The binaries can be under 50KB, small enough for many embedded targets.
- Easy to deploy. Just add monocypher.c and monocypher.h to your project. They compile as C99 or C++ and are dedicated to the public domain (CC0-1.0, alternatively 2-clause BSD).
- Portable. There are no dependencies, not even on libc.
- Honest. The API is small, consistent, and cannot fail on correct input.
- Direct. The abstractions are minimal. A developer with experience in applied cryptography can be productive in minutes.
- Fast. The primitives are fast to begin with, and performance wasn't needlessly sacrificed. Monocypher holds up pretty well against Libsodium, despite being closer in size to TweetNaCl. (More detailed benchmark)

MesaLink is created with the goal of eliminating memory vulnerabilities in TLS stacks. MesaLink is written in Rust, a programming language that guarantees memory safety. This significantly reduces the attack surfaces, which facilitates auditing and restricting the remaining attack surfaces. MesaLink is cross-platform and provides OpenSSL-compatible APIs. It works seamlessly in desktop, mobile, and IoT devices. With the growth of the ecosystem, MesaLink would also be adopted in the server environment in the future.
