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:
Tim Hudson, President of the OpenSSL Corporation (Session 1)
Matt Caswell, President of the OpenSSL Foundation (Sessions 1 and 2)
Anton Arapov, Operations Director of the OpenSSL Corporation (Session 2)
Hana Andersen, Marcom Manager of the OpenSSL Corporation (both sessions)
Moderated by Kajal Sapkota
These interactive webinars offered our community the opportunity to ask questions and better understand the purpose and structure of the TACs.
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.
At the OpenSSL Corporation, we are shaping the future of secure communication—and we are doing it from our growing base in Brno, Czech Republic. Our target is clear: to develop and maintain the OpenSSL Library, one of the most critical open-source tools for secure internet communication. From everyday gadgets to critical infrastructure, the OpenSSL Library protects billions of users worldwide. 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.
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.
The OpenSSL Corporation is pleased to announce that OpenSSL version 3.1.2 has achieved FIPS 140-3 validation, signifying its compliance with the rigorous cryptographic module security requirements set forth by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This accomplishment marks a significant milestone in reinforcing trusted, standards-based encryption for organizations operating in regulated environments, including government agencies, healthcare institutions, and financial services.
Understanding and effectively managing diverse personalities within an organization is crucial for fostering a harmonious and productive work environment. At the OpenSSL Corporation, we use Tick profiles—personality profiling tools designed to help individuals and teams gain insights into behavioral preferences enhancing collaboration and reducing workplace conflicts.
Dove, Owl, Eagle, Peacock—What Makes Them Tick?
Tick’s profiling system categorizes personalities into four distinct ‘bird types,’ each representing a unique set of characteristics:
The Peacock: Expressive and enthusiastic, Peacocks thrive on social interactions and enjoy attention. They are imaginative and spontaneous but may struggle with routine tasks.
The Dove: Gentle and accommodating, Doves value harmony and support. They prefer stable environments and may resist change or high-pressure situations.
The Eagle: Confident and decisive, Eagles are natural leaders focused on results and efficiency. They are competitive and driven but may come across as impatient or insensitive.
The Owl: Analytical and detail-oriented, Owls are logical thinkers who value accuracy and structure. They are thorough but may be perceived as overly cautious or critical.
These profiles serve as a framework for individuals to understand both their own behaviors and those of their colleagues, facilitating improved communication and teamwork.
The election for the OpenSSL Corporation Board of Directors has now concluded. All eligible members have cast their votes, and it is confirmed that Tim Hudson has been reelected to the Board for a 3-year term.
A 2-year seat, vacated by Hugo Landau’s resignation.
We extend our gratitude to all nominees for their willingness to serve, as well as to the Members who participated and cast votes in support of our mission.
At the OpenSSL Corporation, we understand the value of collaboration, and while remote work keeps us connected, nothing beats the energy of meeting in person. That’s why we gather for face-to-face (F2F) meetings three to four times a year, bringing together team members from across the globe.
Our recent F2F meeting was the opportunity to reconnect not just with each other but also with our colleagues from the OpenSSL Foundation. With employees spread across seven locations and three continents, these gatherings allow us to put faces to names, share ideas more dynamically, and build the trust that is essential for collaboration.
