wolfMQTT Client Supports Secure Azure IoT Hub

The wolfMQTT client library has a Microsoft Azure IoT Hub example that demonstrates securely connecting over TLS provided by the wolfSSL embedded SSL/TLS library.

We setup a wolfMQTT IoT Hub on the Azure server for testing. We added a device called `demoDevice`, which you can connect and publish to. The example demonstrates the creation of a SasToken, which is used as the password for the MQTT connect packet. It also shows the topic names for publishing events and listening to `devicebound` messages.

Everyone deserves to have their IoT data secure, and wolfSSL provides the best libraries to accomplish that! Secure-IoT-Love from the wolfSSL team!

You can download the latest release here: https://www.wolfssl.com/download/

Or clone directly from our GitHub repository: https://github.com/wolfSSL/wolfMQTT

Don’t forget to add a star while you’re there!

Migrating From OpenSSL to wolfSSL

There are many reasons why a user might want to switch from OpenSSL to wolfSSL. In order to facilitate this transition, wolfSSL has an accessible compatibility layer.

Why Migrate?
Why might one want to make this migration and turn on this compatibility in the first place? To start, wolfSSL has numerous benefits over its counterpart, OpenSSL. Some of these include hardware acceleration implementations, progressive adoptions of TLS 1.3 as well as a reduced footprint size. In addition to this, there is the potential to use wolfSSL FIPS. wolfSSL maintains current FIPS support and is used in numerous applications and provides FIPS Ready builds to help get projects ready for FIPS verification. All of this is supported by a team of trained wolfSSL engineers.

What is the wolfSSL OpenSSL compatibility layer?
The wolfSSL OpenSSL compatibility layer is a means to switch applications designed for OpenSSL to wolfSSL. In addition to this, it is constantly expanded with more than 500 commonly used OpenSSL functions. wolfSSL also provides Crypto API support to enable easier migration of projects.

wolfSSL Single Precision Math vs. OpenSSL

The performance of public key algorithms regularly comes up with customers – they are after all the most costly operations.
wolfSSL has you covered with the Single Precision (SP) big number maths library that brings you the best implementations.
But how does it compare to OpenSSL?

Intel x86 64-bit assembly optimised implementations are as fast or faster than OpenSSL for RSA 2048-bit, EC P-256 and X25519.
One major drawback with OpenSSL is the lack of choice if not using assembly code. The C code is significantly slower, especially the elliptic curve operations which can be 15-40 times slower!
wolfSSL has the option to compile in optimised C code. This code is significantly faster and can be configured to meet your resource profile. Lots of memory, the default build is optimised for maximum speed and handily beats OpenSSL C code. Not so much memory, try the small build, it has similar performance to OpensSSL but half the size!

If you don’t have space for specialised code then good news is coming! Later this year a new implementation of MP, our big number math API, will be released that will be faster than the OpenSSL C code and it’s still smaller.

Contact us at facts@wolfssl.com or support@wolfssl.com if you would like to learn more!

We can give you the performance you need and we want to help you!
