Hi! We are currently seeking an additional senior C/C++ developer for our team. Ideally, our best candidates will have 5+ years of experience coding C/C++. Experience at the systems level, working with networking protocols, working with cryptography, and an affinity for open source are useful but not necessary. This is a position where you will primarily work at home, with occasional travel to team meetings, trade events, and customers. With the right skill set, we are open to you working anywhere, but we prefer those who reside in Montana, Seattle, and Portland, because we already have clusters of people working in those locations.

If you are interested, please email your resume to larry@wolfssl.com.

As a lightweight, embedded SSL library, wolfSSL has been used to secure many smart home devices such as lighting, garage doors, washers and dryers, thermostats, as well as a variety of other appliances. Security may not be the first thought when developing a smart home device, but there remains the risk of an attacker gaining access to a wirelessly connected thermostat that has complete control of a home’s heating and cooling system. This could be detrimental to the utility bill, plumbing, and even pets left in the house susceptible to extreme temperatures. Imagine going on vacation during frigid weather and the home’s heating is disabled. This could cause frozen and potentially bursting pipes, which in turn could lead to flooding, costing thousands of dollars in repairs. wolfSSL is designed specifically to prevent these issues. Devices secured with wolfSSL give homeowners a necessary comfort knowing their home is resistant to wireless intruders and other security threats.

Hi! This note is to announce that we will be FIPS 140-2 validating our cryptography library, wolfCrypt, on the FreeRTOS platform. If you need FIPS validated crypto on FreeRTOS, let us know at facts@wolfssl.com.

For those of you who have been following our FIPS progress, we are now in the “Review Pending” phase.  See:  http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/140InProcess.pdf (this link is out of date and obsolete, as wolfCrypt now has 2 FIPS validation certificates – #2425 and #3389)
