PKCS12 is commonly used when solving the problem of securely transporting a private key and certificate pair by file. wolfSSL has recently added PKCS12 parsing capabilities to the wolfSSL embedded TLS/SSL library giving the ability to securely load a certificate along with its private key from .p12 files. PKCS12 files contain internal storage “containers”, called “SafeBags”. Each […]

#Crypto #Hardware #Performance We now support the Intel QuickAssist adapter, which is a low-profile PCIe x8 (Gen 3) card that accelerates crypto operations. Asynchronous hardware acceleration has been added for the following crypto algorithms: * PKI: RSA public/private (CRT/non-CRT), ECDSA/ECDH, DH * Cipher: AES CBC/GCM, DES3 * Digest: MD5, SHA, SHA224, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512 and HMAC. […]

Intel ® SGX (Software Guard Extensions) allows for additional security and a smaller surface area for attack. One way this is accomplished is by restricting access to portions of memory even from other applications running on the same computer. This additional security is for both code that is being executed and stagnant information with “sealing” […]

Interested in using AWS IoT with MQTT? We added an Amazon Web Services (AWS) IoT example to our wolfMQTT client in our latest wolfMQTT v0.12 released on 12/20/16. For this example we setup an AWS IoT endpoint and made it available for testing. AWS uses TLS with a client certificate for authentication. The example is […]

wolfSSL has been ported and tested on a Nordic nRF52 board. The wolfSSL embedded SSL/TLS library is ideal for IoT projects and excels at fitting onto resource constrained devices. If looking to use a progressive, embedded TLS/SSL library in your IoT projects contact us here at wolfSSL. A special thanks goes out to Michal Lower […]

wolfSSL recently added support Intel SGX to the wolfSSL lightweight SSL/TLS library. SGX allows developers to protect code and data from disclosure or modification. For users interested in learning more about SGX, the following Intel Security Brief provides an overview of how wolfSSL, Numecent, and Bromium have leveraged SGX: Hardware-Assisted Security for High-Value Information

Tired of using OpenSSL in your projects? wolfSSL has recently expanded to our compatibility layer and we have more functions coming. This compatibility expansion makes it easier for ripping and replacing the TLS library being used. Making it easier to upgrade your project by using the progressive wolfSSL SSL/TLS library. Over 100 OpenSSL compatibility functions […]

As a Christmas present to our users, customers, and community, wolfSSL is releasing version 3.10.0 of the wolfSSL embedded SSL/TLS library. Version 3.10.0 includes lots of great new features and is now available from our download page. Features included in version 3.10.0 include: – Support for SHA-224– Support for scrypt– Build for Intel SGX, located […]

wolfSSL now supports ARMv8! Significant gains are seen when using the crypto hardware acceleration. wolfSSL is more than 10 times faster with AES and SHA256 operations on a HiKey (LeMaker version) board when using hardware acceleration vs software!!! If building an IoT project requiring fast, secure crypto/TLS with a small memory footprint size, contact wolfSSL […]

STARTTLS is a way of protecting email communications from malicious users (insiders or otherwise) by upgrading a plaintext SMTP connection to one secured by SSL/TLS.  SMTP using STARTTLS allows encryption of emails in transit between email clients and servers. Without encryption email messages can easily be intercepted and read at any point between the sender […]
