As previously announced, the wolfSSL embedded SSL/TLS library and wolfCrypt embedded crypto engine support the Atmel ATECC508A crypto element. This allows wolfSSL to take advantage of the ECC hardware acceleration and protected private key storage on the ATECC508A.
Using wolfSSL, ATECC508A users can benefit from both increased ECC performance and secure key storage, thus hardening their TLS connections. Now that wolfSSL supports TLS 1.3, users also have the ability to use this new protocol version for even better performance for TLS connections!
The wolfCrypt ATECC508A port adds the following (and more!) when used with TLS 1.3:
+ wolfCrypt support for ECC hardware acceleration using the ATECC508A. The defines for this port are WOLFSSL_ATMEL and WOLFSSL_ATECC508A
+ Public key callback for Pre Master Secret
+ Reduced quantity of round trips for performing a full handshake
+ A repurposed ticketing system allows for servers to be stateless
