HSM-Backed OpenPGP Signing for OpenSSL Releases: Architecture and Operations
Wednesday October 14, 2026 11:30 - 12:00 CEST
For most of OpenSSL's history a release was signed with the release manager's own OpenPGP key — the 1.1.1 and 3.0.0 tags carry signatures from different individuals. Automating the release process consolidated that onto one shared release key, but it was still a private key in a file on disk. Either way, the trust root for software that a large chunk of the internet depends on to build TLS was a...
