Here at wolfSSL we love it when our partners achieve great things. We’d like to give a big shout out to our friends at Crypto4A for achieving a huge milestone by getting their CAVP (Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program) validation. The details can be found here.
In summary, they got a Hardware validation for the QASM Cryptographic Module which stores, protects and manages cryptographic keys. Of very special note, their validation includes post-quantum algorithms LMS, ML-DSA, ML-KEM and SLH-DSA.
This is the same product that wolfSSL and Crypto4A use in an interoperability demonstration at the ICMC Conference in 2023. In that demonstration, the QASM signed a firmware image with LMS and wolfBoot was used to verify the firmware image against an LMS public key and signature and then booted the firmware. Preparations are underway for another demonstration where the QASM will be used to generate an ML-DSA certificate chain which will be used in a TLS 1.3 post-quantum connection using the wolfSSL library. The cryptographic operations will be done on an NXP iMX-93.
You can soon expect to see CAVP validation for wolfSSL’s post-quantum algorithm implementations in wolfCrypt as well. Want to see that effort accelerated and given a higher priority? Let us know and register your interest by sending a message to facts@wolfssl.com!
