The OpenSSL blog shares updates, insights, and news from the team behind the world’s most widely used cryptographic library.
OpenSSL 3.4 alpha 1 has now been made available.
Our Alpha 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 CHANGES.md within the source tarball.
Debugging is a crucial aspect of developing and maintaining reliable software. However, debugging can become particularly challenging when applications incorporate diverse and complex components like OpenSSL. This webinar is designed to help you navigate these complexities.

This year, OpenSSL will be attending RSA Conference 2024, one of the world’s largest cybersecurity events. Throughout May 6-9 in San Francisco, we are seeking to engage with our communities at RSA to better understand their needs and problems.
The OpenSSL Project has returned from spending a week in February sequestered in the beautiful Australian outback discussing the past, current, and future state of the project. This in-person meeting brought together the project’s paid resources and the management committee. Our goal for this meeting was to chart the course for OpenSSL’s future, tackle current challenges, and note our collective achievements. Three project members were unable to participate in person and joined the meetings remotely.
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.
