TINY-CURL
Author: Daniel Stenberg curl, or libcurl specifically, is probably the world’s most popular and widely used HTTP client side library counting more than six billion installs. curl is a rock solid and feature-packed library that supports a huge amount of protocols and capabilities that surpass most competitors. But this comes at a cost: it is […]
Read MoreMore TagwolfBoot – wolfSSL’s Secure Bootloader
wolfBoot is wolfSSL’s own implementation of a secure bootloader that leverages wolfSSL’s underlying wolfCrypt module to provide signature authentication for the running firmware. The role of a secure bootloader is to effectively prevent the loading of malicious or unauthorized firmware on the target. Additionally, wolfBoot provides a fail-safe update mechanism, that can be interrupted at any time, and resumed […]
