wolfSSL fans! Do you like FIPS? Do you like virtual machines? Guess what. wolfSSL`s crypto library, wolfCrypt, has been validated for FIPS 140-2 mode running on three different virtual operating environments. We now have wolfCrypt validated for Microsoft® Windows® 7 running on VMware ESXi™ and SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server running on both VMware ESXi™ and […]

Many new additions and updates have been introduced in wolfSSL 3.9.6. For IoT and embedded SSL/TLS there was the addition of embOS and uTasker ports, each of these ports allowing for easily building wolfSSL on the respective environments. Updates were also done to STM32 crypto for using AES-GCM and AES-CCM, and updates were made to […]

In the interest of supporting the lightweight cipher suites used in the IoT, wolfSSL has added ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-CCM. This is an AEAD cipher suite with the perfect forward secrecy that ECDHE provides, using AES128 counter mode to encrypt the data and provide the 16-byte MAC. If there are any new ciphers or cipher suites you would […]

We’ve added an Azure IoT Hub example to wolfMQTT in the v0.8 release. For this example we setup an Azure cloud server to demonstrate the IoT Hub. This example demonstrates how to connect/authenticate (creation of a SasToken), how to publish events and how to listening for device bound messages. Release Notes:* Fixed stdin capture bug […]

The Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) is currently underway in San Francisco, CA this week. One of the conference topics, also mentioned in the Keynote, is the Swift programming language. Swift, introduced roughly two years ago, is a programming language for macOS, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS that is gaining popularity with developers. This year at […]

We were recently reading about PikeOS and ElinOS, embedded operating systems from SYSGO AG and were curious if any wolfSSL users are interested in the wolfSSL embedded SSL/TLS library and wolfCrypt cryptography libraries running on these operating systems.  If you aren’t familiar with these operating systems, here’s a quick summary via Wikipedia: PikeOS: “PikeOS is […]

We are pleased to inform that wolfCrypt has a new wrapper! The wolfCrypt Python Wrapper allows use of the wolfCrypt embedded crypto library in a Python project. This will let users take advantage of the low footprint size of wolfCrypt in IoT projects that use the Python language. Check out the wolfCrypt Documentation (https://wolfssl.github.io/wolfcrypt-py) and […]

wolfSSL has added support for embOS in the wolfCrypt embedded cryptography library. We have example projects in the “/IDE/IAR-EWARM/embOS/” directory which include a library to link against, a benchmark, and wolfcrypt_test that are preconfigured for Atmel’s SAMV71 Xplained Ultra when using IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM (EWARM). These examples are set up to build and […]

When using wolfSSL with MYSQL the portability and robustness refined in the IoT realm meets databases. The patch has been updated to MYSQL version 5.6.30 and allows for easy replacement of the bundled TLS/SSL library to a recent version of wolfSSL. Using the patch leverages the progressive, lightweight wolfSSL embedded SSL/TLS library when securing database […]

Are you interested in seeding wolfSSL with quantum entropy?  wolfSSL has recently partnered with Whitewood Encryption Systems to bring support for the Whitewood netRandom client library to wolfSSL. Whitewood netRandom is a client/server solution for delivery true random numbers.  The netRandom server includes the Whitewood Entropy Engine – a hardware-based high-performance, quantum random number generator.
