Rustls has provided memory-safe Transport Layer Security (TLS) for Rust projects since 2016. In this talk, we'll look back on a decade of building and maintaining the library. We'll discuss the design decisions that shaped it, lessons learned from a security-critical open source project, and how adoption has grown across the ecosystem. We'll also cover what we've been working on recently, and share our plans and priorities for the next ten years of Rustls.
