What we do

The OpenSSL Foundation enables access to online privacy and security tools for everyone as a fundamental human right.

We do this by:

• Working together with the OpenSSL Corporation to co-manage the OpenSSL Library, with particular focus on the needs of non-commercial communities.
• Building our community and ensuring their voices are heard through mechanisms such as the Business and Technical Advisory committees.
• Enforcing community norms and ensuring compliance with our Code of Conduct.
• Providing user-friendly documentation that helps developers of varying skill levels make best use of our data privacy tools.
• Creating awareness of data privacy and security through conference presentations and active involvement in the global free and open source software community.
• Educating our community of users through webinars, personal engagement, and other resources.
• Collaborating with other organizations to get strong data privacy and security into as many applications, software, and devices as possible.
• Handling the domains, trademarks, contributor license agreements, and other legal matters related to the Foundation and the OpenSSL Library.
• Raising funds to ensure we can perform this work in service of our mission.
