Camellia Cipher Now Available in wolfSSL
We have added the Camellia-CBC cipher to CTaoCrypt and wolfSSL. The following cipher suites are available for TLS: • TLS_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA • TLS_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA • TLS_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA256 • TLS_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA256 • TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA • TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA • TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA256 • TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA256 Camllia-CBC will be available in our next release. The latest sources are available in our GitHub repository. To enable Camellia-CBC in […]
Read MoreMore TagUsing Pre-Shared Keys (PSK) with wolfSSL
Ever wondered how to use PSK with the embedded wolfSSL library? PSK is useful in resource constrained devices where public key operations may not be viable. It`s also helpful in closed networks where a Certificate Authority structure isn`t in place. To enable PSK with wolfSSL you can simply do: $ ./configure –enable-psk Using PSK on […]
Read MoreMore TagUpdated API Documentation
We want to let our users and followers know that we recently updated the API documentation for the wolfSSL embedded SSL library. With this update, all functions in the standard wolfSSL build (98) are now documented plus an additional 19 related to various defines related to DTLS, Callbacks, DER-specific, NTRU or OpenSSL extra functions. You […]
Read MoreMore TagwolfSSL Now Supports AES with CCM-8
We have added the Counter with CBC-MAC Mode with 8?byte authentication (CCM-8) for AES to wolfSSL. The following cipher suites are available for TLS v1.2: • TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CCM_8_SHA384 • TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CCM_8_SHA256 AES with CCM-8 will be available in our next release. The latest sources are available in our GitHub repository. To enable AES with CCM-8 in wolfSSL, configure […]
Read MoreMore TagGetting started with wolfSSL`s ECC
Release 2.4.6 of wolfSSL is the first to include our ECC implementation publicly. Let`s look at how to get started using the ECC features. First, you`ll need to turn on ECC. With the autoconf system this is simply a configure flag: ./configure –enable-eccmakemake check Note the 96 different TLS cipher suites that make check verifies. […]
Read MoreMore TagIntro to PKCS #3: Diffie-Hellman Key Agreement Standard
A while back, we started a series on the PKCS standards. Our first post was about PKCS #1, the RSA Cryptography Standard. This is the second post in the PKCS standards series, introducing PKCS #3 – the Diffie-Hellman Key Agreement Standard. PKCS #3 is the Diffie-Hellman Key Agreement Standard and is currently defined by version […]
