I still think OpenSSL is a massive success story. It’s used everywhere and it’s good.

Not perfect, and has serious bugs but it’s been used by millions for decades. Even software that costs billions has zero days.

We could be in a world where everyone pays RSA and still have massive vulnerabilities.

We could be so lucky if all software ra exactly like OpenSSL.
