The OpenSSL Corporation and the OpenSSL Foundation celebrate the success of the inaugural OpenSSL Conference, held in Prague, October 7-9. This was the first time in the history of the OpenSSL Project that the full community met in person. Developers, legal experts, and users from academics, committers, distributions, individuals, large businesses, and small businesses came together to discuss project direction, share experience, and collaborate on the future of secure digital communication.
Believe it or not, it’s time to start the election process for the
2026 Foundation Business Advisory Committee (FBAC). Advisory
committees play a critical role in the governance of the OpenSSL
Foundation. This committee focuses on
the strategic direction of the OpenSSL Foundation and our
mission.
Each of the six communities (Academics, Committers, Distributions,
Individuals, Large Businesses and Small Businesses) will have a
representative who will serve for one year. In addition to a monthly
meeting, representatives also lead discussions on the Communities
platform and generally promote
the OpenSSL Mission.
Lightship Security, an Applus+ Laboratories company and accredited cryptographic security test laboratory, and the OpenSSL Corporation, the co-maintainer of the OpenSSL Library, announce the submission of OpenSSL version 3.5.4 to the Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) for FIPS 140-3 validation.
This submission confirms that the code is complete and that all included algorithms have successfully passed NIST testing and independent laboratory review. The final CMVP review and certificate issuance remain as the last step in the process.
The final release of OpenSSL 3.6 is now live. We would like to thank all those who contributed to the OpenSSL 3.6 release, without whom the OpenSSL Library would not be possible.
zl523856 started by submitting an
issue that asking
about the proposed change. The pull request includes some assembly code that improves the performance of the AES-128-CBC decryption algorithm on the RISC-V architecture. It’s not the sort of code that just anyone can write. Open source projects, such as OpenSSL, can benefit from one-time contributions of expertise. In turn, anyone who uses OpenSSL or products that include the library also benefit. It’s a beautiful thing.
The OpenSSL Project is pleased to announce that OpenSSL 3.6 Alpha1 pre-release is released and adding significant new functionality to
OpenSSL Library.
