We are excited to announce wolfSSL’s support for the NXP SE050. The wolfSSL SE050 port supports a variety of algorithms including: SHA, SHA2-224, SHA2-256, SHA2-384, SHA2-512, AES-CBC, AES-ECB, ECDSA, ECDHE and most notably ED25519 / CURVE25519.
In the tested configuration a Raspberry Pi 2b was connected to the SE050 dev kit through a header board. Please refer to this guide if interested in replicating hardware configuration (https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/application-note/AN12570.pdf).
Below are hardware accelerated benchmarks using the NXP SE050:
| Algorithm | Performance |
|---|---|
| TRNG | 0.114 KB/s |
| ECDH - Shared Secret | Avg 169.276 ms |
| ECDSA - Sign | Avg 102.899 ms |
| ECDSA - Verify | Avg 102.920 ms |
| ED25519 - Sign | Avg 261.323 ms |
| ED25519 - Verify | Avg 143.541 ms |
| CURVE25519 agree | Avg 157.089 ms |
