“Fear urged him to go back, but growth drove him on.” ? Jack London, White Fang The Internet of Things is a fast growing technology sector with new embedded devices introduced daily. With this increase in products which frequently require SSL/TLS and cryptography, wolfSSL has been experiencing continual growth and decided to bring in a […]

Hi! We wanted to point out to our users that the TLS 1.3 working group has put their specification work up on Github at: https://github.com/tlswg/tls13-spec We are eager to implement TLS 1.3 as it gets closer to its final specification! We think this new protocol iteration will add a lot of improvement! As such, we`re […]

Our third post in our PKCS series, we will be looking at PKCS  #5. PKCS #5 is the Password-Based Cryptography Specification and is currently defined by version 2.0 of the specification. It is defined in RFC 2898 http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2898. It applies a pseudorandom function, such as a cryptographic hash, cipher, or HMAC to the input password or passphrase […]

If you are looking for a quick and easy guide on compiling, installing and using CyaSSL, then we have some good news: In order to make it even easier to understand and install CyaSSL, we recently created a video tutorial to help get you started. The video will walk you through the downloading and installing […]

We`ve implemented ChaCha20 allowing for the use of both 128 bit and 256 bit keys and are in the process of implementing Poly1305 into wolfSSL. Both crypt tools and a suite using the two are on schedule to be released by the end of the summer. The ChaCha20 and Poly1305 algorithms, originally developed by Bernstein, […]

Did you know that the wolfSSL lightweight SSL library builds and runs out of the box on the Raspberry Pi? We recently ran tests on a Raspberry Pi model B with wolfSSL 3.0.0. You can check out the results below: 1. Downloading For the test, we downloaded cyassl-3.0.0.zip file from our download page. 2. Building […]

Hi everyone, we’re curious if anyone is interested in using wolfSSL with the Oculus Rift? If you don’t know what an Oculus Rift is, it is a Next Generation Virtual Reality Technology for video games or any Virtual Reality Applications. You can learn more at the following URL: http://www.oculusvr.com/ If you have any questions, or […]

OpenSSL released several security advisories yesterday: http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20140605.txt. None of these are attacks on the SSL/TLS protocols themselves.  They are all implementation bugs.  Most are critical bug fixes to DTLS (TLS over UDP).  As a clean room implementation of SSL, wolfSSL does not use any OpenSSL code and is free from these defects.  The most critical […]

Hi!  We`ve been supporting AES-NI for a few years now.  We`ve decided to extend that support to Visual Studio users.  If you would like to use AES-NI with Visual Studio, then let us know.  Beta code will be available shortly.  Contact us at facts@wolfssl.com if you have questions.

For those of you interested in how CyaSSL fits into IoT, here is an example you should take a look at! We have prepared a demo with CyaSSL, Xively, and mbed. It runs on various mbed platforms with Ethernet connections, including NXP LPC1768 whose RAM size is as small as 32k for applications + 32k for […]
