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.
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.
The OpenSSL Corporation is announcing an election for its Board of Directors in February.

OpenSSL’s FIPS 140-3 module has progressed from the “Review Pending” phase to the “Coordination” phase on the NIST CMVP Modules-In-Process list. This change signifies that the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (CCCS) have completed their initial examination of the module and are now collaborating with the OpenSSL team and the accredited testing laboratory on any remaining clarifications before final certification.
On January 13, 2025, OpenSSL Corporation hosted its inaugural Business Advisory Committee (BAC) meeting, marking a significant milestone in the project’s evolution towards enhanced community engagement and transparency. This kickoff meeting brought together key stakeholders to discuss the committee’s structure, purpose, and path forward.
The anticipated future arrival of cryptographically relevant quantum computers (CRQCs), that could undermine the algorithms that underlie the currently most widely used public key algorithms (ECDHE, ECDSA, DH and RSA), has led to the development and recent standardisation of new “post-quantum” (PQ) algorithms, that are believed to not be vulnerable to CRQC attack.
Upon certification of the election results by the Election Committee, the OpenSSL Foundation and the OpenSSL Corporation are pleased to announce the official results of the Business Advisory Committee (BAC) elections. After a thorough nomination and voting process, the OpenSSL community has selected a group of distinguished individuals to provide guidance and advice to OpenSSL.
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.
