Please find the attached meeting notes from the LBC meeting on 5/12. Also please note these meeting will be recurring and I am attempting to find the best time to get the most attendance. This one was on 2nd Tuesday but folks on the call said Thursday would work better. So, I will move the meeting to the 2nd Thursday of every month starting in June.
Thanks for reading and please consider jumping in!
thx,
-jj

Meeting summary AI-generated
The meeting focused on updates and strategies for transitioning to post-quantum cryptography within the OpenSSL community, emphasizing collaboration and performance improvements.
Jeff Johnson leads the meeting to discuss the large business community's initiatives. Participants introduce themselves and share their roles related to OpenSSL and post-quantum cryptography. The meeting lacks a formal agenda, focusing on updates from OpenSSL's roadmap and LTS strategy. Discussions highlight the importance of transitioning to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) funding and support. Performance improvements in OpenSSL versions 3.5 and 4.0 are noted, with some concerns about FIPS provider issues. Hybrid cryptography is seen as a transitional solution while pure post-quantum options are being developed. Participants agree on the need for a unified stance on supporting pure post-quantum cryptography among vendors. Discussed the importance of collaboration with the foundation for future proposals and statements. Noted improvements in performance issues related to OpenSSL over the past six months. Explored potential solutions for addressing vulnerabilities in cryptographic protocols, including a "kill switch" concept.
