The OpenSSL Corporation and the OpenSSL Foundation are launching the Distinguished Contributor Awards, a new programme formally recognising exceptional technical contributions to each OpenSSL Library release. These awards highlight individuals who drive critical advancements and demonstrate technical leadership in the evolution of the OpenSSL Library.
Dates: October 7–9, 2025 Location: Prague, Czech Republic Submission Deadline: May 31, 2025
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.
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:
These interactive webinars offered our community the opportunity to ask questions and better understand the purpose and structure of the TACs.
The OpenSSL Project is pleased to announce that OpenSSL 3.5 Beta1 pre-release is released and adding significant new functionality to the OpenSSL Library.
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.
The OpenSSL Corporation (primarily focused on commercial communities) and the OpenSSL Foundation (primarily focused on non-commercial communities) are pleased to announce the formation of the Technical Advisory Committees (TACs) to provide expert guidance and strategic direction for our technical initiatives. This marks a significant milestone, and we need dedicated individuals to help shape their future.
