OpenSSL’s new alpha build speeds up post-quantum crypto

OpenSSL released the first alpha of version 4.1.0, which introduces support for DTLS 1.3 (Datagram Transport Layer Security) for encrypted communication over UDP and incorporates improvements to post-quantum cryptography performance. The general availability release remains months away.

Why it matters: Practitioners deploying applications over unreliable networks or preparing for post-quantum cryptography transitions should monitor this release cycle for support timelines and performance testing requirements.
