We see a continuing adoption of wolfTPM and TPM 2.0 modules in IoT and Edge embedded systems. In addition, there is a new trend of adding wolfTPM to safety-critical systems, such as aerospace and medical products. For many years, there was no TPM 2.0 stack designed for baremetal and RTOS systems and wolfTPM changed this. […]

SSL/TLS and Cryptography Benchmarks
Some of our users have been wondering if we were doing benchmarks of our SSL/TLS and cryptography performance. Here are the results we have gathered so far: wolfSSL / wolfCrypt Benchmarking. This page includes several reference benchmarks as well as comparisons of software versus hardware cryptography. If you have any questions or run into any issues, […]
Read MoreMore TagwolfSSL Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) Support
wolfSSL supports the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) [https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2560] as a client and OCSP stapling version 1 [https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6066#section-8] and 2 [https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6961]. OCSP is a substitute for Certificate Revocation Lists (CRL). CRLs are a list of certificates that shouldn’t be temporarily or permanently trusted. A major setback for CRLs is the time it takes for these […]

Support for wolfSSL has been upstreamed to the master OpenVPN branch in f6dca235ae560597a0763f0c98fcc9130b80ccf4! This means that you will be able to use wolfSSL directly in OpenVPN. wolfSSL is a lightweight and embedded SSL/TLS library that is extensively tested to provide the best security available. Using OpenVPN with wolfSSL, you can take advantage of our hardware […]
Read MoreMore TagFIPS certificate #2425 is being added to NIST sunset list: wolfSSL customers can achieve effortless transition to FIPS cert #3389
FIPS 140-2 requires the use of validated cryptography in the security systems implemented by federal agencies to protect sensitive information. The wolfCrypt Module is a comprehensive suite of FIPS Approved algorithms. All key sizes and modes have been implemented to allow flexibility and efficiency. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is sending FIPS […]
Read MoreMore TagwolfSSL Cisco cjose Port
The wolfSSL library has added support for the cisco/cjose library in version 4.4.0. cjose implements Javascript Object Signing and Encryption (JOSE) in C/C++. JOSE is a framework that allows parties to exchange transfer claims in a secure way. The cjose library has been ported to work with wolfSSL, the best tested crypto library on the […]
Read MoreMore TagwolfSSL 4.7.0 has added support for S/MIME!
S/MIME is short for Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions, a standard for public key encryption and signing of MIME data. The S/MIME standard allows you to sign, authenticate and encrypt plaintext MIME messages. It is commonly used in email. wolfSSL now supports both “enveloped data” (application/pkcs7-mime) and “detached signature” (multipart/signed) messages. To enable S/MIME support in […]
Read MoreMore TagwolfSSL Xilinx Support
wolfSSL supports Xilinx SoCs and FPGAs. The wolfSSL embedded SSL/TLS library can be used with FPGAs which use the MicroBlaze CPU and/or Zynq and Zynq UltraScale+ SoCs. Improved performance speeds with using the hardware crpyto can be seen. Increasing AES-GCM, RSA, and SHA3 operations performance. In addition to the performance gained a user also gets the additional security the hardware […]
