A Cipher Suite is a set of cryptographic instructions or algorithms that helps secure network connections through Transport Layer Security(TLS)/Secure Socket Layer (SSL). It helps determine how your web server will communicate secure data over HTTPS, and makes sure to secure the communications between client and server. To start a HTTPS connect, the web server […]

ANNOUNCEMENT: wolfSSL is  very proud to let our FIPS community know that wolfCrypt has received its’ first two consolidated ACVP vector certificates! #A894 #A902 Both of these consolidated certificates were for embedded operating environments (OEs’) and wolfSSL will soon be working on adding a Linux 4.4 on ARM OE, CMSIS-RTOS on EFM32 OE, WINCE on […]

We at wolfSSL have recently been benchmarking the performance of our core TLS read and write functions, wolfSSL_read and wolfSSL_write. With assembly optimizations enabled, read and write throughput can reach well over 1 GB/s! The data in the charts below was collected using an Intel Core i5-7300HQ CPU @ 2.50GHz and Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS. Server […]

Hi! As our readers know, wolfSSL produces the first embedded TLS library that has begun testing for the new FIPS 140-3 standard, as listed here: https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/cryptographic-module-validation-program/modules-in-process/iut-list One of the things that is critical to our users is Key Derivation Functions, which are explained here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_derivation_function Key derivation functions are consumed by TLS 1.2, TLS 1.3, […]

The TPM feature for parameter encryption and HMAC verification has been added to wolfTPM! The TCG TPM 2.0 specification allows protection of the first parameter of a command or response using parameter encryption. When using an authenticated session it also adds HMAC validation to prove the TPM entity is trusted and integrity of command and […]

The wolfSSL team is happy to announce support for the latest version of Apache httpd, 2.4.46, with both our standard and FIPS-compliant code. In addition to building wolfSSL with –enable-apachehttpd, users will also need to add –enable-postauth. To support this latest version, we have added new OpenSSL compatibility functions to wolfSSL, updated our Apache httpd […]

wolfSSL provides the most secure embedded SSL/TLS libraries. Our products are run by high-powered, lightweight encryption engines for maximum efficiency and speed. But in the case that a client’s needs are not met, our products are followed by an exceptional support team.  We have established a channel to hear questions or concerns through support@wolfssl.com. On […]

The wolfSSL embedded SSL/TLS library supports the Renesas Trusted Secure IP Driver (TSIP) and has been tested on the Renesas RX65N platform.  Using the TSIP driver, wolfSSL can offload supported cryptographic and TLS operations to the underlying Renesas hardware for increased performance. Supported TSIP Capabilities wolfSSL has been integrated with the following TSIP capabilities: TSIP […]

HI! We have been industrious in moving forward with our FIPS 140-3 efforts! Here’s where we are at now: We are in the Implementation Under Test part of the NIST process. You can see from the list: https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/cryptographic-module-validation-program/modules-in-process/iut-list that wolfSSL, Apple, and Intel are leading the FIPS 140-3 charge! NEW AND COOL: RSA 4096 will […]

This week we are tackling a new series of blog posts on the hottest topics!  This week’s question is: What is the difference between SSL and TLS?  TLS stands for Transport Layer Security. On the other hand, SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer. It is important to note that SSL 2.0 and 3.0 have been […]
