Topic: Enabling/Disabling SSL/TLS security using wolfSSL API's

Hi Team,

I am new to wolfSSL. I am going to use wolfSSL in an embedded application.

The configurations are,
Board      : Xilinx development board (ZCU102).
Processor : Cortex A53.
OS          : FreeRTOS

Please give your answers for the following questions.

1. I would like to communicate with external devices with or without SSL/TLS security. So Is it possible to communicate without using SSL/TLS security with wolfSSL API's?
2. I know that wolfSSL is the successor of CyaSSL. But I would like to know what is the base layer of wolfSSL/yaSSL is developed from. Whether wolfSSL uses openSSL or LwIP functions internally?

Best regards,
Iyaps.

Re: Enabling/Disabling SSL/TLS security using wolfSSL API's

Hello Iyaps,

Welcome to the wolfSSL Support forum. Have you already downloaded (or cloned from Github) the wolfSSL project? There are several Xilinx SDK examples here:

> 1. I would like to communicate with external devices with or without SSL/TLS security. So Is it possible to communicate without using SSL/TLS security with wolfSSL API's?

Usually your application will determine if TLS is required (i.e., "http://www.example.com" VS "https://www.example.com"). The same application code will be used, but the TLS connection should only be used when connecting to servers / clients that support it.

2. I know that wolfSSL is the successor of CyaSSL. But I would like to know what is the base layer of wolfSSL/yaSSL is developed from. Whether wolfSSL uses openSSL or LwIP functions internally?

wolfSSL is written from scratch and maintained by the wolfSSL team! That is one reason developers prefer wolfSSL over so many other SSL and crypto libraries.

Kind regards,
Eric @ wolfSSL Support
