We’re often asked what differentiates wolfSSL and OpenSSL.  Here’s our list:   a. wolfSSL builds are 20-40 times smaller than OpenSSL.  Hence it is much more useful in embedded ssl implementations. b. Standards support:  wolfSSL supports TLS 1.1 and 1.2.  OpenSSL does not support TLS 1.1 or 1.2. c. wolfSSL was built with securing streaming media […]

Hi!  wolfSSL is ported to both the Cuda http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA  and OpenCL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCL frameworks.  These frameworks are for writing programs that execute on GPU’s, or Graphical Processing Units.  Generally, GPU’s are used for graphics processing, but due to their high production volumes and low cost, they can be useful for math intensive computing.  Early adopters are […]

We have released an Alpha of our SSL Provider for Java.  Currently supporting Mac and Linux operating systems, this provider enables Java developers to use wolfSSL through the javax.net.ssl package.  By using this, Java developers can use familiar syntax and API calls to gain the speed and size advantages that the wolfSSL embedded SSL library provides. Being […]

Hi!  Most of our readers will already know that AES is a key encryption standard used by governments worldwide, and that wolfSSL has always supported AES.  Intel has released a new set of instructions that is a faster way to implement AES, and wolfSSL is currently the first ssl library to fully support the new instruction […]

wolfSSL is a popular tool for digitally signing applications, libraries or files prior to loading them on embedded devices.  Most desktop and server operating systems allow creation of this type of functionality through system libraries, but stripped down embedded operating systems do not.  The reason that embedded RTOS environments do not include digital signature functionality […]
