Blog

The OpenSSL blog shares updates, insights, and news from the team behind the world’s most widely used cryptographic library.

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.
