rustls outperforms OpenSSL and BoringSSL. Security and performance: pick two! Both handshake latency and throughput were better in the latest version of rustls compared to latest OpenSSL/BoringSSL. See blog post for more details, below.

After almost 6 years, I revived my blog to publish an overview of all the open source stuff I worked on last month. Updates from rustls, Hickory DNS, rustup, pyrtls, KumoMTA, Quinn, Askama, tokio, and instant-acme.

pyrtls is a new set of Python bindings for rustls, providing a secure, modern alternative to the ssl module. I wanted to allow more people to benefit from the work we've done to build a better alternative to OpenSSL-backed TLS, and figured Python users might be interested.

A bug in OpenSSL -- jbp.io/2024/06/27/cve-2024-5… -- equally as entertaining as heartbleed, but much less prevalent. (advisory: openssl.org/news/secadv/2024… ) This is the bug I pointedly did not talk about in my talk at @Rust_NL

Excited to announce #Rustls now has experimental support for Encrypted Client Hello! ECH is a critical component of secure connections in which the domain name is encrypted, resulting in greater privacy. Learn more in our new blog post: buff.ly/4cmwJs3
