The embedded SSL/TLS library wolfSSL, has support for ARMv8. Significant gains are seen when using the crypto hardware acceleration. wolfSSL is more than 10 times faster with AES and SHA256 operations on a HiKey (LeMaker version) board when using hardware acceleration vs software!!! If building an IoT project requiring fast, secure crypto/TLS with a small […]

Intel ® SGX (Software Guard Extensions) allows for additional security and a smaller surface area for attack. One way this is accomplished is by restricting access to portions of memory even from other applications running on the same computer. This additional security is for both code that is being executed and stagnant information with “sealing” […]
