Connected medical devices create new risks. A compromised device can expose patient data, fail during treatment, or be manipulated to cause harm. wolfSSL provides security tools built for medical device constraints: wolfCrypt – Lightweight encryption to protect data and device functions wolfEntropy – NIST-compliant random number generation for strong cryptographic keys wolfSentry – Firewall that […]

Terminology Tuesday: Key Establishment and Friends
Key Establishment: This is the broader umbrella term that encompasses any protocol by which parties establish a shared secret key. It includes both key agreement and key transport as subcategories. Key establishment is the general goal, while key agreement and key transport are the two main approaches to achieving it. Key Agreement: A protocol where […]
Read MoreMore TagKeystores and Secure Elements supported by wolfSSL In 2026
When looking to store your cryptographic secrets, it is important to have a good platform to store them on. Even more important is the ease of accessing and using those secrets. With wolfTPM, we have support for all TPM 2.0 APIs. Additionally, we provide the following wrappers: Key Generation/Loading RSA encrypt/decrypt ECC sign/verify ECDH NV […]

Meeting evolving security requirements like CNSA 2.0 and FIPS 140-3 is becoming a critical challenge for satellite systems, especially when deployments must remain secure for decades with limited ability to update. Design decisions made early in the architecture directly impact certification timelines, long-term security, and system maintainability. Register today: Designing Secure Satellite Systems with FIPS […]

Read MoreMore TagCaliptra: Your Silicon’s Security Chaperone
As a member of the wolfSSL team, each day is a new opportunity to learn. This time, we delve into Caliptra and our plans for it in the near future. Architecture and Purpose Caliptra isn’t just a piece of software or hardware, it is a specification for software combined with hardware as its own module, […]

We’re looking at bringing FIPS 140-3 validated cryptography to Proxmox VE. Before we commit, we want to know if the market actually wants it. Here’s the situation. Broadcom’s VMware licensing changes are pushing a lot of enterprise customers toward Proxmox. Proxmox is solid (Debian-based, KVM, mature, production-proven) and the migration makes technical sense. But organizations […]
Read MoreMore TagwolfSSL as a Cryptographic Service Provider for VPP
The engineering team at wolfSSL is working on integrating wolfCrypt as a cryptographic service provider for FD.io’s Vector Packet Processing framework. This will give VPP deployments access to FIPS 140-3 validated cryptography, hardware acceleration support, and wolfSSL’s battle-tested implementations directly within the high-performance data plane. This work targets network packet workloads demanding both regulatory compliance […]
Read MoreMore TagwolfProvider: Drop-In FIPS 140 Compliance for OpenSSL Applications
Do you have a Linux application, service, container, or distribution that depends on OpenSSL and must meet FIPS 140 requirements, or interoperate with systems operating in FIPS-approved mode? wolfProvider is an OpenSSL provider module that enables OpenSSL-based applications to use wolfSSL’s FIPS-validated cryptographic implementations. wolfProvider replaces OpenSSL’s cryptographic engine as the provider layer. Existing OpenSSL […]
Read MoreMore TagSecuring wolfHSM POSIX Transport with TLS
The recent addition of a TLS transport to the wolfHSM project provides improved transport-level protection for POSIX-based communications and was included with the latest release. Previously, when wolfHSM was used over POSIX transports (such as TCP sockets on a local system), security largely depended on controlling access to that transport. If an attacker could access […]
