OpenSSL Information

OpenSSL Software Services (OSS) is the commercial manifestation of the OpenSSL project (http://openssl.org/support/funding/support-contact.html). This for-profit corporate entity was created to handle commercial contracting for the OpenSSL open source software project. The OpenSSL project produced and maintains the world's most widely used cryptographic software library and toolkit. The OSF provides commercial services in several forms including hourly rate consulting services, annual software support contracts, and custom work-for-hire software development. Responsibilities include all aspects of marketing, contracting, and finance as well as hands-on involvement with cryptographic software. A separate corporate entity, OpenSSL Validation Services, handles FIPS 140-2 Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) related activities.
