wolfSSL offers many different products, including the wolfSSH Lightweight SSH Library. The wolfSSH library is ideal for both IoT embedded devices and desktop use cases. It is an implementation of the SSHv2 protocol and features a small footprint size, an extensive feature set, and excellent cross platform support. A list of some of these supported […]

As many of our readers know, the wolfSSL embedded SSL/TLS library includes an OpenSSL compatibility layer. This layer makes it easier to replace OpenSSL with wolfSSL in applications that have previously been using OpenSSL. As wolfSSL is ported into more and more projects that have previously used OpenSSL, our compatibility layer expands.  As new versions […]

The wolfSSH library is a lightweight implementation of the SSHv2 protocol written in ANSI C and targeted for embedded devices, use with an RTOS, and resource-constrained environments – primarily because of its small size, speed, and feature set. It is commonly used in standard operating environments as well because of its royalty-free pricing and excellent […]

Thanks to the hard work at wolfSSL, the wolfBoot Secure Bootloader will soon be obtaining some new features that are currently under evaluation. These features include more options and additions, and will also improve the performance of the wolfBoot library. The following chart shows how these new features can impact the bootloader: More information on […]

Have you heard talk about SSL 3.0, TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, TLS 1.2, and TLS 1.3 but never really knew the differences between the different versions? Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Transport Security Layer (TLS) are both cryptographic protocols which provide secure communication over networks. These different versions are all in widespread use today in […]

wolfSSL’s embedded SSL/TLS library has included support for TLS 1.3 since early releases of the TLS 1.3 draft. Since then, wolfSSL has remained up-to-date with the TLS 1.3 specification. In this post, the major upgrades of TLS 1.3 from TLS 1.2 are outlined below: TLS 1.3 This protocol is defined in RFC 8446. TLS 1.3 […]

The wolfSSL embedded SSL/TLS library has support for PCKS#11! The PKCS#11 standard defines an API for using cryptographic tokens. The API added to wolfSSL will work with the most commonly used cryptographic object types (RSA keys, X.509 Certificates, DES/Triple DES keys, etc.) and all the functions needed to use, create, modify and delete those objects. […]

The wolfSSL embedded SSL/TLS library is highly portable, and easy to build on many different platforms. One of these platforms includes the Yocto Project, a project that assists developers with creating Linux-based systems on any architecture. wolfSSL also includes many recipes and projects that make it easy to build on various platforms, and is maintained […]
