I am pleased to announce Oracle Corporation (http://www.oracle.com) as the third Platinum Sponsor of the OpenSSL project, and the first such sponsor from the United States. For several years, Oracle has provided financial support in the form of commercial funding of platform validations for the OpenSSL FIPS Object Module v2.0 (certificate #1747), the most widely used FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic module and the only one freely available under an open source license. Without financial support from Oracle and other FIPS module users, the successful completion and continued maintenance of that module would not have been possible. Thank you Oracle! -Steve M. -- Steve Marquess OpenSSL Software Foundation Inc. 20-22 Wenlock Road London N1 7GU United Kingdom +44 1785508015 +1 301 874 2571 direct marquess at opensslfoundation.org stevem at openssl.org
