You may have noticed that the OpenSSL 1.1.1 series will reach End of Life (EOL) next Monday...
Most sensible options are to switch to 3.0 or 3.1 as soon as possible.
Of course, our mORMot 2 OpenSSL unit runs on 1.1 and 3.x branches, and self-adapt at runtime to the various API incompatibilities existing between each branch.
But we also discovered that switching to OpenSSL 3.0 could led into big performance regressions... so which version do you need to use?

EKON 25 at Düsseldorf was a great conference (konference?).
At last, a physical gathering of Delphi developers, mostly from Germany, but also from Europe - and even some from USA! No more virtual meetings, which may trigger the well known 'Abstract Error' on modern pascal coders.
There were some happy FPC users too - as I am now. 
I have published the slides of my conferences, mostly about mORMot 2.
By the way, I wish we would be able to release officially mORMot 2 in December, before Christmas. I think it starts to be stabilized and already known to be used on production. We expect no more breaking change in the next weeks.

Why OpenSSL? OpenSSL is the reference library for cryptography and secure TLS/HTTPS communication. It is part of most Linux/BSD systems, and covers a lot of use cases and algorithms. Even if it had some vulnerabilities in the past, it has been audited and validated for business use. Some algorithms […]

After weeks of implementation and testing, we introduce today a new feature of our mORMot Open-Source Framework.
Asymmetric encryption, also known as public-key cryptography, uses pairs of keys:
The framework
SynEcc unit features a full asymmetric encryption system, based on
Elliptic curve
cryptography (ECC), which may be used at application level (i.e. to
protect your application data, by signing or encrypting it), or at transmission
level (to enhance communication safety).
A full set of high-level features, including certificates and command line
tool, offers a stand-alone but complete public-key
infrastructure (PKI).
