OpenSSL & OpenSSL+QUIC Build Environment

This repository provides a reproducible, multi‑architecture build environment for:

• OpenSSL
• OpenSSL with QUIC support (ngtcp2, nghttp3, sfparse)

The build environments are designed for deterministic cryptographic behavior, stable toolchain generation, and consistent results across architectures. They are used by madnuttah/unbound-docker to ensure reliable TLS and QUIC support.

The project includes hardened CI pipelines, static analysis, and dependency pinning to maintain a trustworthy and auditable build process.

Technical Overview

Build Environments

Two independent build environments are provided:

OpenSSL Buildenv

A minimal environment that compiles OpenSSL with:

• architecture‑specific tuning
• hardened compiler flags
• shared libraries only
• no legacy algorithms
• no documentation or apps
• stripped binaries for reduced size

This environment is intended for systems that require a clean, optimized OpenSSL toolchain without QUIC dependencies.

OpenSSL+QUIC Buildenv

A full QUIC‑enabled toolchain that builds:

• OpenSSL
• sfparse
• nghttp3
• ngtcp2 (including crypto backend)

This environment is isolated from the default build due to its larger dependency graph and higher maintenance cost. It is intended for QUIC‑capable applications and testing.

---

CI/CD and Security

The repository uses a hardened CI pipeline with the following components:

Static and Workflow Analysis

• CodeQL for semantic vulnerability detection
• zizmor for GitHub Actions workflow security analysis
• ShellCheck and Hadolint for linting shell scripts and Dockerfiles

Runner Hardening

• StepSecurity Harden Runner to restrict outbound traffic and enforce secure defaults

Build Integrity

• Pinned dependency versions
• Immutable base images
• Reproducible build flags
• Stripped binaries and removed static archives
• Architecture‑specific build logic

---

Usage

These images are intended to be used as build‑time toolchains. They can also be used in multi‑stage Docker builds to provide a consistent OpenSSL or QUIC‑enabled toolchain.
