#ARMTechCon – NXP has a new LP Trusted Crypto (LTC) core which accelerates RSA/ECC PKI in their Kinetis K8x line. The LTC hardware accelerator improves: * RSA performance by 12-17X * ECC performance by 18-23X * Ed/Curve25519 performance by 2-3X. This adds to the existing MMCAU support which accelerates RNG, AES (CBC, CCM, GCM, CTR), DES/3DES, MD5, SHA, […]

Read MoreMore TagProgressive Performance in wolfSSL with Curve25519 and Ed25519
Are you a fan of speed? How about new, progressive, and secure algorithms? If so, you’re in luck! The wolfSSL embedded SSL/TLS library and wolfCrypt cryptography library have support for two high-performance algorithms for key agreement (Curve25519) and digital signatures (Ed25519). Curve25519 is an elliptic curve which offers 128 bits of security, designed for use […]

The embedded SSL/TLS library wolfSSL, has support for 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 […]

The EiMSIG smart home allows users to monitor and control windows, doors, blinds, lighting, heating, and cameras all from the convenience of a smartphone. Control and monitoring are done through the free EiMSIG® alarms app. The EiMSIG smart home has been designed to be the logical evolution of the classic alarm, as EiMSIG explains on […]
Read MoreMore TagSWEET32 – 3DES disabled by default in wolfSSL 3.9.10
One of the changes in the recent wolfSSL 3.9.10 release, to mitigate against the SWEET32 attack, is that the 3DES algorithm is now disabled by default when using the Autoconf (./configure) build system. Non Autoconf users can disable 3DES by defining NO_DES3 when compiling wolfSSL. For those not familiar with SWEET32, more information can be […]
Read MoreMore TagIntel SGX and wolfSSL
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” […]
