But this comes at a cost: it is […]

wolfBoot is wolfSSL’s own implementation of a secure bootloader that leverages wolfSSL’s underlying wolfCrypt module to provide signature authentication for the running firmware. The role of a secure bootloader is to effectively prevent the loading of malicious or unauthorized firmware on the target. Additionally, wolfBoot provides a fail-safe update mechanism, that can be interrupted at any time, and resumed […]

At wolfSSL we have had customers asking us whether we support the Ed25519 signature algorithm using a hash.

Now compatible with AMD processors, enabling the intelasm option for wolfSSL will utilize expanded capabilities of your processor that can dramatically enhance performance. The instruction sets leveraged when the configure option is enabled include AVX1, AVX2, BMI2, RDRAND, RDSEED, AESNI, and ADX. These were first introduced into Intel processors and AMD processors have started adopting […]

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has completed the validation of the wolfCrypt module version 4 for an updated Federal Information and Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 certificate in addition to its previous FIPS 140-2 certificate. This new certificate includes updated and more secure algorithms added to the wolfCrypt module’s boundary, some of which […]
