+### A Brief Note on OpenSSL 3.x
+
+Migrating from OpenSSL 1.1.x to 3.x largely involves avoiding the use of many functions which are now deprecated (consult
+the [migration guide] for details).  The driver does not use any of these functions so we expect the transition to OpenSSL
+3.x to be relatively painless.  Note that two officially supported platforms (Ubuntu 22.04 and Rocky Linux 9.2) come with
+OpenSSL 3.x by default and the unit and integration tests all pass on these platforms.
