wolfSSL is excited to announce support for using Silicon Labs Hardware acceleration. The EFR32 family of devices support multiple wireless interfaces with hardware cryptographic operations. wolfSSL can now offload cryptographic operations for dramatically increased performance on the Silicon Labs EFR32 family! Our new support includes hardware acceleration of the following algorithms: RNG AES-CBC AES-GCM AES-CCM […]

wolfSSL now supports NXP’s SE050 hardware security chip. This is an external I2C crypto co-processor chip that supports RSA key sizes up to 4096-bit, ECC curves up to 521 bit and ED25519 / Curve25519. You can see the full implementation details in GitHub pull request 4322. We have also expanded our Kinetis LTC support to […]

wolfSSL is always adding new ports to our highly portable wolfCrypt library! We’re continuing our series on the latest open source project ports—this week, we’re featuring tcpdump. We have integrated wolfSSL with tcpdump, a powerful command-line packet analyzer. This update allows for the use of tcpdump with our FIPS-validated crypto library, wolfCrypt. Tcpdump is a […]

News to look forward to—wolfSSL plans to integrate wolfTPM, our portable TPM 2.0 library, into U-Boot! This would extend the TPM 2.0 capabilities in U-Boot to include signature verification and measured boot. For many platforms, we can replace U-Boot such as on the Xilinx UltraScale+ MPSoC. wolfBoot is a portable secure bootloader solution that offers […]

Public key infrastructure or PKI is important term used to define everything that is used to “create, manage, distribute, use, store and revoke digital certificates and manage public-key encryption.” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_key_infrastructure) As RSA and ECC are one of the main algorithms used for PKI key generation, we are wondering if anyone is interested in RSA 3k or ECC 384 support […]

wolfSSL has long been aware of the quantum threat to modern cryptography. Though quantum computing currently exists on small scales, research has determined enough to know that once full-scale quantum computing is available, all modern cryptography (RSA, ECC, etc.) will no longer be secure. Furthermore, the proven usage model of Quantum Computing as a Service […]

One of the highlights of our wolfCrypt library is its exceptional portability, which allows wolfSSL’s team of engineers to frequently add new ports! Stay tuned for the rest of our blog series on the latest open source project ports over the next few weeks. This week, we’re showcasing libssh2! We have integrated wolfSSL with the […]

lighttpd has added support for wolfSSL in version 1.4.51! lighttpd is a fast and lightweight web server designed with a very low memory footprint. These design goals make wolfSSL an excellent choice as the SSL/TLS implementation, as it’s built to be lightweight, portable, and very fast. wolfSSL targets embedded and IoT devices but works just […]

Because of the exceptional portability of our wolfCrypt library, plus our fantastic team of engineers, we’re able to frequently add new ports. We’ll be showcasing a few of the latest open source project ports over the next ten weeks, so tune in! First, we just integrated wolfSSL with the NTP (Network Time Protocol) project. This […]

The wolfSSL library has for a long time supported encryption and decryption using ECC with an implementation of ECIES (Elliptic Curve Integrated Encryption Scheme). Recently the ECIES code was updated to support the SEC.1 and ISO/IEC 18033 variants. ECIES is the elliptic curve equivalent of the RSA encryption algorithm and is useful as a key […]
