Introducing QuicTLS
summary
QuicTLS is a fork of OpenSSL that exposes the Google-style 12-function QUIC API to enable other QUIC stacks rather than implementing QUIC itself. The project uses C99/POSIX, drops legacy platforms (about 20,000 lines of VMS code removed) and 12 config knobs, maintains OpenSSL FIPS provider compatibility (FIPS 140-2/3), and tracks upstream fixes. Roadmap items include converting to CMake, adding post-quantum crypto before OpenSSL, encrypted client hello, clang-tidy, and about two dozen public GitHub issues seeking contributors.
