We are thrilled to announce our upcoming webinar, Writing Your First OpenSSL Application.
This webinar is designed to take you from an understanding of basic cryptography concepts to writing your first secure application using OpenSSL. It’s the perfect starting point for anyone looking to dive into the world of secure application development. Here’s what we’ll cover:
Define the use cases for which OpenSSL can be used
How to find documentation to learn how to use OpenSSL in applications
How to write applications using OpenSSL
How to test and verify functionality of OpenSSL applications
How to identify and fix bugs in OpenSSL applications
Q&A Session: Have your questions answered by our OpenSSL experts. This is a great opportunity to clear up any doubts and gain additional insights.
By the end of this presentation, the audience should be able to match their application needs to OpenSSL library features, find documentation to explain how to leverage those features, create applications using OpenSSL, and learn how to detect and understand errors that may arise.
The Alpha release of OpenSSL 3.3 is now live. This release is in accordance with our adoption of biannual time-based releases. As this is an alpha release, it is intended for development and testing purposes. It represents the first step in our planned release of OpenSSL 3.3. To view the full 3.3 release schedule please refer to this blog.
OpenSSL 3.3 will feature the following new features:
QUIC qlog diagnostic logging support
Support for the non-blocking polling of multiple QUIC connection or stream objects
Support for optimised generation of end-of-stream frames for QUIC connections
Support for disabling QUIC event processing when making API calls
Support for configuring QUIC idle timeout durations
Support for querying the size and utilisation of a QUIC stream’s write buffer
RCU lock infrastructure for performance enhancements
Support for RFC 9480 and RFC 9483 extensions to CMP
Ability to disable OpenSSL usage of atexit(3) at build time
Year 2038-compatible SSL_SESSION APIs
Ability to automatically derive Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT) parameters when requested
Ability to ignore unknown algorithm names in TLS signature algorithm and group configuration strings
Ability to configure a TLS 1.3 server to prefer PSK-only key exchange during session resumption
No further features or API changes are planned for 3.3 beyond those listed above. We will not be accepting any additional features for 3.3; any unmerged feature PRs will now be considered for 3.4.
We are pleased to announce our schedule for the April release of OpenSSL 3.3. In
accordance with our adoption of biannual time-based releases following the
release of OpenSSL 3.2, this will be our first time-based release.
The release schedule is as follows:
An alpha of OpenSSL 3.3 will be made on 20 March 2024.
A beta of OpenSSL 3.3 will then be made on 29 March 2024.
The expected final release date for OpenSSL 3.3.0 is 10 April 2024.
Backup release dates are 17 April 2024 and 24 April 2024.
Exciting news in the world of online security! NetApp, an intelligent data infrastructure company, is now a Gold Sponsor of OpenSSL, showing their strong support for making the internet a safer place for everyone.
NetApp’s sponsorship brings valuable resources to OpenSSL, enabling the project to accelerate development, conduct thorough security audits, and ensure ongoing maintenance and support. In return, NetApp gains access to cutting-edge cryptographic technologies, contributing to the enhancement of its own security solutions and reinforcing its position as a leader in data management.
In the fast-paced world of cybersecurity, the ability to secure digital assets is paramount. We’re excited to announce our upcoming webinar, “Getting Started with OpenSSL,” which is designed to provide attendee’s with a solid foundation in using OpenSSL to enhance the security of their applications and systems. Join us for this webinar and learn all about OpenSSL’s purpose, features, and components.
