RECENT BLOG NEWS

At wolfSSL we support hardware cryptography for a wide range of platforms. The benefits of hardware cryptography include reduced code footprint size, improved security, acceleration of cryptographic operations, and utilization of true random number generators. For example, this allows everything from wolfBoot to TLS cipher suites to enjoy acceleration of cryptographic operations.

Furthermore, we have deep partnerships with industry leaders such as Intel, NXP, and Renesas. We support standard Intel instruction extensions such as AES-NI, AVX, and ADX and BMI2, and have recently published a joint whitepaper on using wolfBoot with 11th Gen Intel Core processors. We also support NXP’s Cryptographic Accelerator and Assurance Module (CAAM), and have leveraged this for hardware acceleration on a number of NXP i.MX series processors. Other examples include Espressif and Analog Devices, to name but a few.

If you’re curious for a list of every hardware cryptography scheme and platform we have enabled, then read on:

We are excited to announce the release of wolfSSH version 1.4.17, which comes packed with several improvements, new features, and important fixes to enhance security and functionality. This release is a testament to our commitment to providing a robust and reliable SSH library for developers.

Vulnerability Fixes

In this version, we have addressed a critical vulnerability that could potentially allow a maliciously crafted SSH client to bypass user authentication within the wolfSSH server code. This fix ensures that messages are properly filtered during different operational states, significantly improving the overall security posture of wolfSSH.

For more details on the vulnerabilities fixed, we encourage you to visit our vulnerability page for a comprehensive overview.

New Features

1. More Configuration Options for Key Exchange (KEX)We have introduced new functions that allow users to set algorithms lists for Key Exchange (KEX) at runtime. Additionally, users now have the ability to inspect which algorithms are set or available for use, providing greater flexibility and customization.
2. Curve25519 KEX SupportOne of the notable additions in this release is the inclusion of Curve25519 Key Exchange (KEX) support for both server and client key agreement. This cryptographic enhancement further strengthens the security of the SSH connections established using wolfSSH.
3. Soft Disabling of SHA-1With version 1.4.15, we had disabled SHA-1 in the build by default due to its known vulnerabilities. However, in response to user feedback and to accommodate specific use cases, we have re-enabled SHA-1 in the build with a “soft” disabled status. This means that algorithms utilizing SHA-1 can now be configured for Key Exchange (KEX), providing users with more options while maintaining a cautious approach to security.

Enhancements

In addition to the new features, wolfSSH 1.4.17 also brings a round of enhancements aimed at improving various aspects of the library:

• Better Testing: We have enhanced our testing procedures to ensure more robust and reliable performance across different scenarios.
• Improved Portability: The library now offers improved portability, making it easier to integrate wolfSSH into a wide range of platforms and environments.
• Terminal Enhancements: We have addressed issues related to shell terminal window resizing, creating a smoother and more user-friendly experience for terminal-based applications.
• SFTP Improvements: Several corner cases with the SFTP functionality have been fixed, enhancing the overall stability and reliability of SFTP operations.
• RSA Signature Verification: Fixes have been implemented to ensure accurate and secure verification of RSA signatures.
• Zephyr Compatibility: For users working with the Zephyr operating system, file mode bits are now properly masked, improving compatibility and functionality.
• Memory Leak Fix: A fix has been applied to address a potential memory leak issue related to setting up a pseudoterminal, ensuring efficient memory management within the library.

Conclusion

Upgrade to wolfSSH 1.4.17 for enhanced security with a fix for a critical authentication bypass vulnerability. Benefit from new features like Curve25519 KEX support and algorithm list configuration. This release also brings improved testing, portability, terminal enhancements, and fixes for SFTP and RSA signature issues. For details, check our GitHub ChangeLog. Thank you for choosing wolfSSH for secure and reliable SSH solutions.

One of our most popular products is wolfSSH and for good reason; the SSH protocol is commonly used by industry, academia and governments. Efforts are underway in the community to bring post-quantum key exchange algorithms to the SSH protocol to protect your communications against “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks. But we can’t just switch over, we also have to consider compliance. That is why we started supporting ECDHE-P256 hybridized with Kyber at NIST Level 1 KEX as specified by the IETF in ‘Post-quantum Hybrid Key Exchange in SSH.’ This allows for both post-quantum protection as well FIPS-140 compliance.

We have just finished integrating X25519 support into wolfSSH. Our next logical step would be to bring in X25519 hybridized with Kyber at NIST Level 1 KEX as specified in the draft above.

Do you have X25519 requirements but are also thinking about post-quantum protection? Excited to see this happen? Want us to raise the priority of this work? Let us know by sending us a message at facts@wolfSSL.com!!

To continue in our series of wolfSSL’s implementation of Kyber KEM benchmarks, we would like to show you benchmarking statistics for Linux. Some notes about the conditions under which the benchmarks were taken:

• The processor is “11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-1185G7 @ 3.00GHz × 8”
• Only 1 core is used
• Conventional algorithms are present for comparison purposes
• The wolfSSL configuration used was:
  ./configure –disable-psk –disable-shared –enable-intelasm –enable-aesni –enable-sp –enable-sp-math –enable-sp-asm –enable-kyber=wolfssl,all ‘CFLAGS=-Os -DECC_USER_CURVES -DHAVE_ECC256 -DHAVE_ECC384’
