OpenSSL 3.5.4: Quantum-Ready and One Step Closer to FIPS 140-3 Validation Triumph
OpenSSL 3.5.4, now with added FIPS 140-3 validation seasoning, is like that fancy spice you didn’t know your cryptographic soup needed. As it heads for final certification, it’s set to spice up security with a quantum-resistant twist. Bon appétit to secure digital communications!

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.
