The OpenSSL blog shares updates, insights, and news from the team behind the world’s most widely used cryptographic library.
Thank you to everyone who registered, as well as to those who took the extra step to nominate candidates, for the Business Advisory Committees of the OpenSSL Foundation and OpenSSL Corporation.
Advance Your Skills in X.509 Certificate Management with OpenSSL
Are you looking to deepen your understanding of X.509 keys and certificates or sharpen your command-line skills?
The OpenSSL Foundation (primarily focused on non-commercial communities) and the OpenSSL Corporation (primarily focused on commercial communities) are pleased to announce the formation of Business Advisory Committees (BAC), inviting our communities - Distributions, Committers, Small Businesses, Large Businesses, Individuals, and Academics - to actively engage in shaping the future of OpenSSL. These advisory bodies are critical in enhancing our governance structure, ensuring that the decisions reflect the diverse stakeholders involved and that our Mission and Values stay aligned with the community’s needs.
The final release of OpenSSL 3.4 is now live. We would like to thank all those who contributed to the OpenSSL 3.4 release, without whom OpenSSL would not be possible.
OpenSSL 3.4 beta 1 has now been made available.
Our beta releases are considered feature complete for the release, meaning that between now and the final release, only bug fixes are expected (if any). Notable features of this release are available in NEWS.md within the source tarball.
OpenSSL Corporation’s participation as a Silver Sponsor at the International Cryptographic Module Conference (ICMC) 18th - 20th September 2024 marked an important milestone in our continued commitment to advancing cryptographic technologies. As a critical player in secure communication, OpenSSL’s involvement highlighted our dedication to fostering collaboration, innovation, and security within the cryptographic community.
OpenSSL is sharing Lightship Security’s latest press release, highlighting the new partnership with the OpenSSL Corporation. Read the full release below:
Lightship Security, an Applus+ Laboratories company and a leading cryptographic security test lab, announces its agreement with the OpenSSL Corporation to provide FIPS 140-3 validation services for the OpenSSL cryptographic library.
Recently NIST published a number of post-quantum algorithm standards (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, and SLH-DSA). With these new NIST publications, OpenSSL is now prepared for implementation.
We’ve recently been receiving a lot of questions about these new standards so we wanted to make our position clear:
We believe everyone should have access to security and privacy tools, whoever they are, wherever they are or whatever their personal beliefs are, as a fundamental human right.
