Timothy Stapko – Top Ten Considerations for embedded Wi-Fi device security

Here’s a nice article for embedded designers faced with securing an 802.11 device:  https://www.embedded.com/design/prototyping-and-development/4206409/10-things-to-consider-when-securing-an-embedded-802-11-Wi-Fi-device.
 
Stapko’s item 8 on the list caught our attention.  He correctly states that “Wi-Fi security protocols are big and slow.”  However, the article is an overview, and is not intended to discuss which ones are bigger and slower, and which ones are smaller and faster.  This, of course, is where we must chirp up and make the point that the wolfSSL embedded ssl solution is sized under 50k, as opposed to some solutions which are 20-50 times that size.
