The OpenSSL Project is the custodian of the open-source OpenSSL software library, widely used for secure communication over computer networks. It is a robust, full-featured toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols, along with a comprehensive general-purpose cryptography library. The OpenSSL Library is extensively utilised across various industries and applications to ensure secure data transmission and encryption.
The OpenSSL Corporation develops, maintains, and funds the majority of the OpenSSL Library.
Focused on commercial communities and activities, the OpenSSL Corporation employs most of the OpenSSL Library’s full-time developers and provides the majority of its financial support through commercial services.
We are here to ensure open-source security stays open, strong, and sustainable.
