The OpenSSL Conference 2025 is accepting proposals for talks, panels, and workshops. This inaugural event will bring together developers, researchers, security engineers, compliance professionals, and policy experts working across open-source and commercial domains. While the OpenSSL Library remains central to modern cryptography, this conference is designed to support the broader community in building secure systems and advancing internet trust.
We are looking for speakers who can share real-world experiences, technical innovations, and practical insights that contribute to the field of security and cryptographic infrastructure.
The OpenSSL Corporation and the OpenSSL Foundation certify the results of the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) elections. After a thorough nomination and voting process, the OpenSSL community has selected a group of distinguished individuals to provide guidance and advice to the OpenSSL Library.
As RSA Conference 2025 concludes, we are reflecting on a week of meaningful dialogues about the future of cryptography and how the OpenSSL Library continues to evolve.

The ICMC 2025 gathering in Toronto brought together practitioners committed to advancing and maintaining cryptographic assurance through evolving standards and practices. OpenSSL Corporation participated as a Gold Sponsor, reinforcing our commitment to standards-based assurance.
The nomination period for the Technical Advisory Committees (TACs) has been extended. The new deadline is Sunday, April 27, 2025.
Take advantage of the extended timeline to submit thoughtful nominations — and play an active role in shaping the future of the OpenSSL Library. Your voice matters!
The final release of OpenSSL 3.5 is now live. We would like to thank all those who contributed to the OpenSSL 3.5 release, without whom the OpenSSL Library would not be possible.
The OpenSSL Corporation and the OpenSSL Foundation are pleased to announce the OpenSSL Conference 2025, taking place from October 7 to 9, 2025, in the historic city of Prague, Czech Republic. This premier event brings together a global community of cryptography experts, legal professionals, and open-source enthusiasts dedicated to advancing cryptography and secure communications for three days of in-depth discussions, insights, and networking.
On March 24 and 25, 2025, we hosted two live Q&A sessions to discuss the formation and role of the new Technical Advisory Committees (TACs) concerning the OpenSSL Library. These sessions featured:
Tim Hudson, President of the OpenSSL Corporation (Session 1)
Matt Caswell, President of the OpenSSL Foundation (Sessions 1 and 2)
Anton Arapov, Operations Director of the OpenSSL Corporation (Session 2)
Hana Andersen, Marcom Manager of the OpenSSL Corporation (both sessions)
Moderated by Kajal Sapkota
These interactive webinars offered our community the opportunity to ask questions and better understand the purpose and structure of the TACs.
Thank you to everyone who registered and to those who went the extra mile to nominate candidates for the Technical Advisory Committees of the OpenSSL Corporation and OpenSSL Foundation.
