wolfCLU Command Line Utility

wolfCLU is wolfSSL’s portable command line utility. It is backed by the best-tested crypto using wolfCrypt and can make use of FIPS builds with wolfSSL. wolfCLU handles common cryptographic operations, such as certificate parsing and key generation, for easier usage than writing an application from scratch. You can download wolfCLU on Github today for use with the wolfSSL embedded SSL/TLS library!

Possible uses

  • Create certificates and certificate requests
  • Create hash digests
  • Create private/public keys
  • More to come...

wolfCLU is ideal for customers who want to do simple crypto operations without writing an application. It is also an excellent option for users who have an environment without OpenSSL installed, but would still like a command line utility.

About wolfCLU

wolfCLU is a utility application that can be run from the command line. This allows users to perform common operations without having to write their own code for it. An example would be creating a hash digest of a file.

Platform and Language Support

wolfCLU is built for maximum portability and is generally very easy to compile on new platforms.  If your desired platform is not listed under the supported operating environments, please contact us.

wolfCLU supports the C programming language as a primary interface. If you have interest in using wolfCLU in another programming language that is not currently supported, please contact us.

Hardware encryption and acceleration

Because wolfCLU is powered by wolfCrypt, wolfCLU has access to all the platforms with hardware cryptography/acceleration that are supported by wolfCrypt. To see the list of platforms, please see our hardware cryptography support page.
