wolfSSL makes a great effort to support many different projects. We provide patches for projects to leverage our OpenSSL Compatibility Layer and work with maintainers to upstream support whenever possible. This blog is a list of currently supported open source projects. The support type denotes how wolfSSL is supported. “Patch” means that we provide a […]

wolfSSL Release Version 5.6.0
wolfSSL release version 5.6.0 is available now! A couple things to note with this release is that the new and improved ASN parsing, and generation, code is enabled by default now. Additionally we have the upcoming deprecation of –enable-heapmath which is scheduled to be removed by 2024. This release also saw the addition of DTLS […]
Read MoreMore TagwolfSSL and wpa_supplicant FIPS
What is the difference in modes with wpa_supplicant using wolfSSL FIPS vs non FIPS? Some of the algorithms are restricted when using CONFIG_FIPS=y while building wpa_supplicant. This is not a limitation in wpa_supplicant or in wolfSSL, but is due to restrictions and guidelines put in place for FIPS. To help avoid using algorithms that have […]

Read MoreMore TagwolfSSL Premium Support
One of the primary distinctions between wolfSSL and other security libraries is the availability of commercial support packages (https://www.wolfssl.com/products/support-and-maintenance/). The Premium Support package includes these benefits: Having your build configuration tested by our Nightly CI ensures that any changes made to the library will not cause regressions to your project! Having a highly configurable library […]
Read MoreMore TagPost-Quantum Verification in wolfBoot
A little while ago, we wrote a blog post (https://www.wolfssl.com/nsa-announces-cnsa-suite-2-0/) and did a webinar (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiykMe-pjqo) about the CNSA 2.0 announcement(https://media.defense.gov/2022/Sep/07/2003071834/-1/-1/0/CSA_CNSA_2.0_ALGORITHMS_.PDF). It discusses the need for preparing to use post-quantum algorithms. For signature schemes, it specifies Dilithium Level 5 as a good general purpose algorithm and LMS and XMSS as being good for signing software and […]

This past December, NIST announced that the venerable SHA-1 algorithm, introduced in 1995, is at end-of-life. While wolfSSL does not use or recommend SHA-1 for new designs, we do implement and support it in our products. With the NIST announcement, that will soon change for new FIPS 140 submissions, as we too will retire SHA-1. […]
