wolfSSL provides support for the i.MX6 and i.MX7, which can use NXP’s Cryptographic Assistance and Assurance Module (CAAM) to perform hardware encryption. This use of hardware encryption provides a significant performance increase when used on larger buffers, which can be seen on wolfSSL’s benchmark page.  To show this performance increase in action, wolfSSL has run its benchmarks […]

As you may know, wolfSSL includes support for offloading cryptography operations into NXP Coldfire and Kinetis devices that include the CAU, mmCAU, or LTC hardware crypto modules. Taking advantage of these modules improves performance of both the cryptography and the SSL/TLS layer running on top of it. Here is a quick comparison of performance between […]

NXP has a new LP Trusted Crypto (LTC) core which accelerates RSA/ECC PKI in their Kinetis K8x line. The LTC hardware accelerator improves: RSA performance by 12-17X ECC performance by 18-23X Ed/Curve25519 performance by 2-3X. This adds to the existing MMCAU support which accelerates RNG, AES (CBC, CCM, GCM, CTR), DES/3DES, MD5, SHA, SHA256, SHA384/512 […]

Are you a user of Renesas CS+?  If so, you will be happy to know that wolfSSL recently added support and example project files to the wolfSSL embedded SSL/TLS library for CS+! Renesas CS+ (formerly CubeSuite+) integrated development environment provides simplicity, security, and ease of use in developing software through iterative cycles of editing, building, […]

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 part of […]

Are you a user of Renesas e² studio?  If so, you will be happy to know that wolfSSL recently added support and example project files to the wolfSSL embedded SSL/TLS library for e² studio! Renesas e² studio is a development environment based on the popular Eclipse CDT (C/C++ Development Tooling), covers build (editor, compiler and […]

wolfSSL is a lightweight TLS/SSL library that is targeted for embedded devices and systems. It has support for the TLS 1.3 protocol, which is a secure protocol for transporting data between devices and across the Internet. In addition, wolfSSL uses the wolfCrypt encryption library to handle its data encryption. Because there is a FIPS 140-2 […]

Lighttpd master now supports wolfSSL with autoconf, meson, CMake, and SCons. Build wolfSSL using: ./configure –enable-lighty make sudo make install Build Lighttpd using: ./configure –with-wolfssl=yes or cmake -DWITH_WOLFSSL=ON .. This work was submitted via: https://github.com/lighttpd/lighttpd1.4/pull/92 Current documentation can be found here:https://github.com/dgarske/lighttpd1.4/tree/lighttpd_wolfssl/doc/wolfssl (document is currently being migrated to lighttpd master) For more questions please email us […]

              MySQL (#mysql) currently comes bundled with yaSSL to provide an option for SSL/TLS connections when using a database. A patch for securing MySQL with the wolfSSL embedded SSL/TLS library is available for MySQL version 8.0.0 here https://github.com/wolfSSL/mysql-patch. Along with an increased level of security comes the potential to use […]
