Hot Take:

Looks like Lightship Security and OpenSSL have been busy bees, submitting OpenSSL 3.5.4 for FIPS 140-3 validation. Maybe it’s just me, but I think they’re trying to tell us they’re kind of a big deal in the cryptographic universe. Who needs a superhero when you’ve got cryptographic wizards like these ensuring our digital safety? Move over, Batman; there’s a new caped crusader in town, and it’s wearing a FIPS 140-3 cape!

Key Points:

  • OpenSSL 3.5.4 has been submitted for FIPS 140-3 validation by Lightship Security.
  • The submission signifies the completion of code and successful algorithm testing.
  • OpenSSL 3.5.4 introduces support for post-quantum cryptographic (PQC) algorithms.
  • The validation will enable secure and compliant solutions for government and industry.
  • OpenSSL 3.5.4 is set to continue its legacy of FIPS 140 validated modules across various sectors.
