Earlier this month, we issued the final beta release of wolfSentry, the wolfSSL
embedded IDPS/firewall. This set the stage for our first production release of
wolfSentry, with increasingly mature and comprehensive facilities for securing
embedded endpoints.
Version 1.0.0 of wolfSentry delivers high-performance thread safety — in
multithreaded builds, all internal structures are protected, with shared locks
allowing for high concurrency on multithreaded/multicore targets. Realtime/TSN
use cases are supported with hard deadlines for return of control to the caller.
We have also improved support for dynamic/stateful rules, including constant
time garbage collection. These capabilites are demonstrated in the updated and
refined examples/notification-demo, our sample implementation of dynamic
defenses and event notifications integrated with an embedded web server.
Configuration of user plugins can now be driven with deep user-defined JSON
trees embedded within the unified JSON configuration package. These trees are
parsed at configuration time, and the pre-parsed contents are then available to
plugins through high performance btree lookups. This highly expressive, high
performance configuration mechanism streamlines configuration of complex
application-specific plugins. Moreover, the pre-parsed JSON trees can be
updated and expanded by plugin logic, using lock upgrades and DOM accessors, as
a supplementary stateful mechanism.
wolfSentry is available now, and is an ideal endpoint security solution for
deeply embedded use cases, with close and easy integration with user
applications, embedded IP stacks, and common libraries like wolfSSL.
Take advantage of the opportunity to enhance your embedded security knowledge with wolfSSL’s free two-day training taking place March 15th and 16th. Be sure to register for both days as day 2 will build off the content from day 1.
