Introducing rustls-wolfcrypt-provider: wolfCrypt for Rustls

rustls-wolfcrypt-provider integrates the wolfCrypt cryptographic library as a backend for Rustls, allowing developers to use wolfCrypt’s secure cryptographic functions with Rustls’ modern TLS stack. Currently in alpha, this library offers flexibility for those needing an alternative crypto provider, especially for projects requiring FIPS 140-3 readiness.

Other reasons to consider wolfCrypt as your Rustls provider include the following:

  1. Hardware encryption support, wolfCrypt supports hardware encryption and assembly optimizations for systems big and small. See our list of supported hardware encryption schemes.
  2. Support: we will support Rustls when used in conjunction with wolfCrypt.
  3. Consulting: If you need help making all of this work in your environment, we’ll help!

Supported Cipher Suites

TLS 1.3:

  • TLS13_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
  • TLS13_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
  • TLS13_AES_256_GCM_SHA384

TLS 1.2:

  • TLS12_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
  • TLS12_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
  • TLS12_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
  • TLS12_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
  • TLS12_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
  • TLS12_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384

With rustls-wolfcrypt-provider, developers can combine the cryptographic strengths of wolfCrypt with the modern TLS capabilities of Rustls, supporting Rustls version 0.23.9. This integration is ideal for projects that require both strong security and the flexibility of wolfCrypt’s cryptography.
