The rustls project celebrates its tenth anniversary, reflecting on its evolution from a 2016 prototype to a widely adopted TLS library. Key milestones include early community contributions, CNCF-funded security audits, and sustained support from the Prossimo initiative that enabled advanced features like FIPS certification, post-quantum key exchange, and Encrypted ClientHello. The library continues to prioritize security, stability, and modern cryptographic standards.
Background
