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.

Bouncy Castle and cryptlib reaffirmed their alignment with the OpenSSL Mission and Values. The discussions focused on their involvement with OpenSSL Projects, and the specifics of how they will leverage the OpenSSL Foundation and the OpenSSL Corporation for their particular needs, such as shared engineering resources or access to performance test infrastructure.

Both projects have also formally conveyed their intention to participate actively in the upcoming OpenSSL Conference, which will take place in Prague from October 7th to 9th, 2025.
