Secure communication is vital in today’s digital world, but it sometimes slows down your applications. We invite you to an insightful webinar on optimizing application performance using OpenSSL. This session is designed for individuals seeking to enhance the security and efficiency of their applications.

Date: August 1, 2024 Time: 09:00 AM Pacific Time (US and Canada) Platform: Zoom Topic: Performance Tuning with OpenSSL
We are announcing a change in how communication and collaboration will take place within
the OpenSSL community. Effective August 1st, 2024, the OpenSSL mailing lists will migrate
to Google Groups. This transition is designed to streamline communication channels and
simplify our infrastructure.
Why the change?
Over the years, the combintation of Postfix and Mailman has served us well, but it’s time to move on
and explore better options. Google Groups offers several advantages that align with our goals:
Recently, some may have noticed issues (particularly old ones) in the openssl
repository have received an update, having the ‘inactive’ label applied to them
with a comment indicating that they will be closed at the end of the 3.4
development cycle. OpenSSL currently has almost 2000 outstanding issues in its
issue list, many of which have been sitting idle for multiple years. In an
effort to better plan and schedule work for the OpenSSL development team, it has
become increasingly clear that, to do so efficiently, the issue list must be
reduced, so as to better identify those issues which are impacting the larger
user base more visibly for planning purposes.
We are pleased to announce our upcoming webinar, Getting Started with QUIC and OpenSSL.
In this brief yet comprehensive session, we’ll dive into the basics of QUIC and guide you through implementing a simple client using the QUIC OpenSSL API. By the end of this webinar, you’ll have a solid grasp of creating a client application that connects to a server and receives data. Our demo client may be straightforward, but it serves as the perfect playground to explore and observe the QUIC protocol in action. Get ready to see QUIC in motion and discover the tools to monitor its performance effectively!
I’d like to give you a heads-up about some changes we’re making at OpenSSL. We’re simplifying how
you can get our software, and that means we’re phasing out some older methods that don’t quite fit
with the way the web works today.
We are pleased to announce the availability of a feature preview for our OpenSSL
QUIC server functionality. This is an early technology preview which is being
published to seek feedback from our communities.
This preview is now available in the feature/quic-server branch of
the OpenSSL repository on GitHub. Those interested in providing early feedback
on our QUIC server functionality are invited to download and build this branch.
It is important to note that this branch represents a prototype phase at this
time and many aspects of the planned functionality are not yet implemented. In
particular, only a very small subset of the full SSL API is currently
implemented. This preview is being released to enable all of our communities to
provide their feedback as part of the API design process and in order to
validate our requirements prior to the finalisation of the API.
