OpenSSL Security

Noun · Security & Infosec

Definitions

  1. The security posture of systems that rely on the OpenSSL cryptographic library, including patch level, supported ciphers, certificate handling, and vulnerability exposure. OpenSSL security matters widely because the library underpins TLS and cryptographic functions in many servers, appliances, and embedded products.

    In plain English: The security of systems that use the OpenSSL cryptography library.

    Example: "The appliance failed review on OpenSSL security because it still bundled an outdated build vulnerable to known memory disclosure issues."
