AES-SIV Added to wolfCrypt
wolfSSL is happy to announce that we’ve recently added support for AES-SIV (synthetic initialization vector). Our implementation is based on the specification in RFC 5297. SIV mode is designed to be resistant to security degradation from accidental nonce reuse. Notably, AES-SIV is a mandatory AEAD algorithm for network time protocol (NTP) servers supporting network time […]
Read MoreMore TagMath Library Improvements in wolfSSL 5.1.1
Significant improvements to the C-only implementation of Single Precision math for P-256 and P-384 have been made in wolfSSL 5.1.1. Previously the Montgomery reduction implementation was performed generically. This function makes up a significant proportion of the time to perform ECC operations. By adding an optimised implementation the performance of the 32-bit C code improved […]
