Watch our webinar, “Linux Kernel Module with FIPS 140-3.” The session will be led by wolfSSL Senior Software Engineer Daniel Pouzzner. In this webinar, you’ll learn the fundamentals of how the wolfSSL Library functions as a Linux kernel module and explore advanced features, including how developers can utilize it with FIPS 140-3. Check it out […]

We’ve done a lot to enable post quantum cryptography in our products over the last 3 years. The list below outlines everything we have available, in open source, for users right now. If you see something on the list that you have questions about, or think there is some further enablement that we should do, […]

Pseudorandom Number Generators (PRNGs) and True Random Number Generators (TRNGs) are both used to generate “random” sequences of numbers that can be used as input in a wide variety of applications. The key distinction between the two lies in how they generate randomness. PRNGs employ deterministic algorithms and an initial seed value to generate sequences […]

Ensuring the security of cryptographic modules is paramount world-wide, particularly in governments and regulated industries. The Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program (CAVP) and the Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) serve as cornerstones in this endeavor. The CAVP particularly focuses on validating individual cryptographic algorithms against the Federal Information Processing Standard or FIPS for short. The CAVP […]

We’re thrilled to announce that Daniel Stenberg, the founder and lead developer of cURL and libcurl, will be hosting an exciting webinar. Join us for “Advanced curl.” This webinar is a must-attend for anyone eager to enhance their curl skills and explore its full potential. Check it out here: Advanced curl: Learn From the Founder, […]

NSA’s Type 1 encryption has long been the gold standard for protecting classified data. However Type 1 Encryptors can be impractical due to their stringent design requirements and long road to market. The CSfC program offers a more flexible alternative by integrating commercial-off-the-shelf solutions into a multi-layered solution providing redundancy, reducing likelihood of failure on […]

The wolfSSL team has noticed an uptick in questions about FedRAMP requirements. Today, we want to cover the differences between FIPS and FedRAMP. FIPS: The Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) stipulate security requirements for cryptographic modules, which wolfSSL Inc. meets with our wolfCrypt FIPS module. NIST and the CMVP then encourage all federal programs using […]

What are the JNI, the JCE, and the JSSE, and how does wolfSSL fit into this? To answer the first question: The Java Native Interface (JNI) is a programming interface that allows Java to natively call code written in other languages (C, C++, etc). For example, the JNI allows a Java application to natively call […]
