Navigating the Rust TLS Landscape
Weak Opinions, Strongly Held
Rustls Outperforms OpenSSL and BoringSSL
memorysafety.orgISRG has been investing heavily in the Rustls TLS library over the past few years. Our goal is to create a library that is both memory safe and a leader in performance. Back in January of this year we published a post about the start of our performance journey. We've come a long way since then and we're excited to share an update on Rustls performance today. What is Rustls? Rustls is a memory safe TLS implementation with a focus on performance. It is production ready and used in a wide range of applications. You can read more about its history on Wikipedia.
