SSL certificates are an integral component in securing data and connectivity to other systems. Learn tips on how you can use the Linux openssl command to find critical certificate details.

The team behind the Debian Linux project have discovered a flaw in their implementation of the OpenSSL cryptography package that has been in place since 2006.

OpenSSL does not use RSA blinding by default and most applications do not enable RSA blinding. A local or remote attacker could use this attack to obtain the server's private key by determining ...

3) OpenSSL does not properly handle unknown message types OpenSSL prior to version 0.9.6d does not properly handle unknown SSL/TLS message types. An attacker could cause the application using OpenSSL ...

Although OpenSSL is complex, a lot of that complexity can be avoided. The remainder of this article concentrates on features that are easy to use, and in only a few lines of shell code. This article ...

OpenSSL, the open-source program LibreSSL aims to replace, has ways to recover from such cases. LibreSSL does not, at least not on Linux.

So far the Linux Foundation has raised $5.4 million over the next three years. And OpenSSL is also still collecting donations through the OpenSSL Foundation.

The Linux Foundation, with support from those tech companies, created the Core Infrastructure Initiative (CII) to boost the security of OpenSSL and other open source projects in need of help.
