As WireGuard continues to grow in popularity for its simplicity and efficiency in VPN deployments, security-conscious organizations are increasingly demanding solutions that adhere to stringent security standards, such as FIPS 140-3 or CMMC 2.0. FIPS certification is a key requirement for governmental agencies and industries like defense and healthcare, where secure cryptographic implementations are mandatory […]
Read MoreMore TagBroken Cryptographic Algorithms
wolfSSL’s wolfcrypt library includes several cryptographic algorithms that are now considered broken or deprecated. While these algorithms are typically disabled by default, developers should be aware of their security implications. Here is the list of these algorithms along with links to documents explaining why they are no longer considered secure: RC4/ARC4: Prohibited for TLS use […]
