Network-related applications and devices often use secure communication. Although keeping network communications safe should be a top priority to all developers and engineers, it often gets left behind due to lack of understanding, insufficient funding, or looming deadlines. Securing a project with SSL shouldn’t have to include a steep learning curve, deep pockets, or an […]

Secure Communication: Usability & Necessity of SSL/TLS
Network-related applications and devices often use secure communication. Although keeping network communications safe should be a top priority to all developers and engineers, it often gets left behind due to lack of understanding, insufficient funding, or looming deadlines. Securing a project with SSL shouldn’t have to include a steep learning curve, deep pockets, or an […]
Read MoreMore TagGreat Article on SSL Interception Proxies and Transitive Trust
We recently found a great article on SSL/TLS interception proxies and transitive trust from Jeff Jarmoc at Dell SecureWorks. In his article, Jeff provides a brief introduction, background, and history of the SSL and TLS protocols, then dives into talking about SSL interception proxies. Reading through the article gives insights into how and why these […]
Read MoreMore TagArticle on Security Fundamentals for Embedded Software
We recently read a good article from EE Times about security fundamentals for embedded software. This article points out that embedded software and device developers should take security precautions into consideration, as many developers assume that their applications or devices are not vulnerable to attack. Topics covered in the article include doing a “threat analysis” […]
Read MoreMore TagGCM Encryption Mode Coming Soon to wolfSSL
A while back, we posted that the wolfSSL embedded SSL library would be getting support for Galois/Counter Mode (GCM) encryption in the near future. This is still true! If everything goes as planned, GCM support should be generally available for wolfSSL in June of this year. Specifically, GCM will be used in wolfSSL with AES […]
Read MoreMore TagFeedback Requested on wolfSSL and Qt Integration
Would you like to see the wolfSSL embedded SSL library integrated into the popular Qt framework? We’ve been throwing around the idea of adding wolfSSL support to Qt and want to hear your feedback. If wolfSSL was integrated into Qt, it would be available as a build option and alternative to using Qt with OpenSSL. […]
