Rustls Can Now Work With Nginx Via New OpenSSL Compatibility Layer


Rustls is the modern TLS library written in the Rust programming language with a large emphasis on memory safety and security

Via a new "rustls-openssl-compat" OpenSSL compatibility layer started by the Rustls project, this Rust TLS implementation can now work with the Nginx web server. In the coming months, we will focus on improving performance in the few areas where Rustls doesn't already surpass OpenSSL and add support for RFC 8879 for certificate compression. Those wanting to learn more in general about Rustls can do so via the project's GitHub.About The AuthorMichael Larabel is the principal author of Phoronix.com and founded the site in 2004 with a focus on enriching the Linux hardware experience.
