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 […]

Read MoreMore TagWhat’s the Difference Between Type 1 and CSfC?
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 […]
Read MoreMore TagFIPS vs FedRAMP Compliance and Requirements
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 […]
Read MoreMore TagWhat is the difference between JNI, JCE and JSSE?
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 […]

Read MoreMore TagWhat’s the difference between TPM 2.0, PKCS#11 and PSA?
In a well-designed modular system there is a dedicated component that performs cryptographic operations. It can be a discrete physical chip, a software library or a mix. Whenever a system component needs a cryptographic operation like hashing, signature verification, encryption, key creation, etc. it delegates the operation to the “cryptographic provider”. But how to interact […]
