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

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.

The OpenSSL Foundation and the OpenSSL Corporation are pleased to announce the successful conclusion of the inaugural meeting with Bouncy Castle and cryptlib, two newly integrated projects under the OpenSSL Mission. This meeting represents a pivotal step in the evolution of OpenSSL’s governance structure, as outlined in the recent organizational changes, and reflects a deepened commitment to advancing privacy and security.

Mission Statement

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.
