The wolfCrypt cryptography library is now available to Java developers! wolfSSL recently released a JNI wrapper and JCE provider that wraps the native C wolfCrypt library. The JCE (Java Cryptographic Extension) framework supports the installation of custom Cryptographic Service Providers which can in turn implement a subset of the underlying cryptographic functionality used by the […]

As our readers have seen us post about in the past, 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. wolfSSL now provides support for TLS […]

wolfSSH v1.2.0 is currently a work in process. We have just added support for Elliptic Curve algorithms and AES-GCM. The following key exchange and public key algorithms are now available: • ecdh-sha2-nistp256 • ecdh-sha2-nistp384 • ecdh-sha2-nistp521 • ecdsa-sha2-nistp256 • ecdsa-sha2-nistp384 • ecdsa-sha2-nistp521 The new encryption algorithm that is available is “aes128-gcm@openssh.com”, which is an implementation […]

wolfSSL is glad to announce that it is incorporating American Fuzzy Lop (AFL) into its testing suite.Improving security is the at the heart of what wolfSSL is about. That is why wolfSSL has decided to include the AFL fuzzer to its list of tools. Finding bugs first locally allows our teams to make improvements to […]

As previously announced, the wolfSSL embedded SSL/TLS library and wolfCrypt embedded crypto engine support the Atmel ATECC508A crypto element.  This allows wolfSSL to take advantage of the ECC hardware acceleration and protected private key storage on the ATECC508A. Using wolfSSL, ATECC508A users can benefit from both increased ECC performance and secure key storage, thus hardening […]

As we announced last month, wolfSSL now includes a port for Intel® SGX (Software Guard Extensions) with Linux (specifically, Ubuntu 16.04). Using wolfSSL with SGX Linux takes advantage of Intel® SGX technology to separate untrusted and trusted code, isolating the wolfSSL library from potentially malicious applications running on the host machine. Curious about using wolfSSL’s […]

Recently, Google announced OSS-Fuzz with the aim of making “common open source software more secure and stable by combining modern fuzzing techniques and scalable distributed execution.” And when they said that they would like to see us at OSS-Fuzz, we were interested. You can read up on OSS-Fuzz at their official Github page, but to summarize the whole thing, […]

Fuzz testing is an important part of maintaining a secure code base here at wolfSSL. While we already have fuzzers in use ensuring that our library is as secure as possible, we recently decided to integrate 4 more fuzzers with our library to ensure that no potential bugs go undetected. This is one of many […]

By Todd Ouska, wolfSSL The Message Queuing Telemetry Transport protocol, or MQTT, has become a favorite of Internet of Things (IoT) developers, and why not? It’s incredibly lightweight (on the order of a couple Kb for client implementations), has easy-to-use APIs, and is available for free under the Eclipse Public License (EPL). If your connected application is […]

wolfSSH v1.1.0 is now available for download. This release contains an update to use DH GEX with SHA-256 during the key exchange. The wolfSSH server library is a lightweight implementation of the SSH v2 protocol suite for embedded servers. It is written in C from scratch. wolfSSH keeps a small footprint by using the wolfCrypt […]
