    wolfSSL Embraces RISC-V; FIPS 140-3 Certifications Now Available

    Here are some places where wolfSSL can be found:

    1. Hex Five And wolfSSL Announce The First Secure IoT Stack For RISC-V

      Hex Five Security, Inc., in collaboration with wolfSSL, has developed the first secure IoT stack for RISC-V, which is a significant advancement for secure embedded systems. This stack integrates Hex Five’s MultiZone™ Security, a trusted execution environment (TEE) that allows for hardware-enforced separation of software components into multiple isolated zones, with wolfSSL’s TLS 1.3 cryptographic library. This combination ensures that any security vulnerabilities in one part of the system are contained, preventing them from compromising the entire IoT device.

      “wolfSSL, a leading provider of TLS cryptography and Hex Five Security, provider of MultiZone™ Security, the first Trusted Execution Environment for RISC-V announce general availability of the industry-first secure IoT stack for RISC-V – a TLS 1.3 reference implementation of freeRTOS with hardware-enforced separation between OS, TCP/IP stack and root of trust”

      This secure IoT stack is particularly valuable for RISC-V developers as it addresses the security challenges inherent in monolithic system designs by enabling fine-grained separation and protection of system functions. The stack is open source and available for developers on GitHub, promoting wider adoption and innovation within the RISC-V community?.

    2. wolfSSL and Synopsys are working together to bring the wolfSSL portfolio of products to the Synopsys ARC® architecture.

      The Synopsys ARC Access Program is a collaborative initiative that supports a diverse ecosystem of hardware and software vendors in developing optimized solutions for Synopsys DesignWare® ARC® processors. The program provides members with access to essential development tools, such as ARC MetaWare, as well as opportunities for joint marketing and technical collaboration. This ecosystem is designed to accelerate the development and deployment of ARC-based embedded systems across various industries.

      As part of this program, wolfSSL offers its lightweight and embedded security solutions, which are highly optimized for speed, size, and portability, to enhance the security of ARC-based systems. This collaboration helps developers integrate advanced cryptographic features into their designs, ensuring secure communication and data protection in embedded applications.

    3. Microchip Microsemi PolarFire SoC

      The Microchip Microsemi Accelerate Ecosystem Partner Program is a collaborative initiative that connects Microsemi with industry leaders in silicon, IP, systems, software, and design services to deliver integrated and pre-validated solutions. This program helps partners accelerate time to market and revenue generation through technology collaboration, joint marketing efforts, and sales acceleration. Notably, wolfSSL, a leading provider of SSL/TLS libraries, is part of this ecosystem, offering secure communication solutions that integrate with Microsemi’s products, enhancing security and performance for end customers?.

    4. Lightway, ExpressVPN’s new protocol for a superior VPN experience

      We at wolfSSL are proud to be partners with the awesome team over at ExpressVPN.

      Also read what you need to know about the OpenSSL bug:

      “Our Lightway VPN protocol uses wolfSSL for all of its cryptographic needs and does not use OpenSSL at all. That means that all Lightway clients and servers are totally unaffected by the OpenSSL bug. If you connect to ExpressVPN using Lightway (which is the default in our apps), you’ll be protected by wolfSSL”

    5. Espressif Managed Components

      Another company leveraging wolfSSL for RISC-V is Espressif, specifically in their ESP32-C3 and ESP32-C6 devices. wolfSSL has integrated RISC-V hardware acceleration into these devices, enhancing cryptographic performance. This integration allows Espressif’s RISC-V-based chips to benefit from the high-performance, lightweight SSL/TLS libraries that wolfSSL is known for, providing secure communication capabilities optimized for embedded systems.

      There are more details on Getting Started with Managed Components in our prior blog.
