Are you interested in using the wolfSSL embedded SSL library in an extremely resource constrained environment? If so, you may be interested to hear that we have recently implemented a wolfSSL “Lean PSK” build which enables the wolfSSL library to be built with a footprint size of 20kB! The “Lean PSK” build requires the use […]

One of the services that yaSSL provides is the CyaSSL Competitive Upgrade Program. With this program, yaSSL offers competitive upgrade pricing for those who wish move from an outdated, orphaned, or overpriced SSL library to the CyaSSL embedded SSL library with low cost and minimal disturbance to their code base. Here’s an outline of the […]

Although ECC support for the wolfSSL lightweight SSL library has been available in our GitHub repository for the past several weeks, we wanted to officially announce it to our users and customers. An official download of wolfSSL with ECC will be available on the www.yassl.com website with the next official release of wolfSSL. wolfSSL’s ECC […]

Support for the MIT GSS-API library is now available for the Android platform – complete with an org.ietf.jgss (RFC 5653) compatible application programming interface, wolfSSL cryptography integration, and NDK sample application. You may have read our previous blog entry announcing the initial phases of our effort to port the MIT Kerberos libraries and wolfSSL embedded […]

Hello Kinetis users!   Our team has now ported and released wolfSSL lightweight SSL for Freescale Kinetis.  The newest work is for MQX/RTCS/MFS on Kinetis tower systems.  Check our Github repository for the most recent source code: https://github.com/cyassl/cyassl If you are a Kinetis user, you will also be pleased to know that we support FreeRTOS, […]

Have you been searching for a web server that runs on SafeRTOS? We recently ported the yaSSL Embedded Web Server and wolfSSL embedded SSL library to the SafeRTOS operating system. This means that you can easily serve up HTTPS content from your SafeRTOS-enabled project. The yaSSL Embedded Web Server offers a very small footprint, with […]

Here`s a good article if you`re wondering how SHA-3 will be used:  http://community.embeddedswstore.com/t5/Embedded-Connection/Why-Does-Embedded-Security-Get-Overlooked/ba-p/286 From the article: “What then will SHA-3 be good for? While Polk says it may take years to identify all the possibilities for Keccak, it immediately provides an essential insurance policy in case SHA-2 is ever broken. He also speculates that the […]

Researchers from two German universities have found that a large number of Android applications available today in the Google Play store have vulnerabilities related to SSL usage which may open the door for malicious man-in-the-middle attacks. You can find several blog posts explaining the vulnerabilities including one from Network World and the H Online. The […]

On October 12, NIST announced Keccak as the winner of its Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-3) competition. Keccak is designed to permute the data in a different manner than MD5, SHA-1, and SHA-2, making it immune to many of the attacks on those hashes. It promises roughly 13 cycles per byte to process the hash. The […]

Do you currently use the Yocto Project or OpenEmbedded? We would like to announce the availability of the “meta-yassl” layer for both Yocto and OpenEmbedded. This layer adds support for the lightweight wolfSSL embedded SSL library to these projects and can be easily added to your existing Yocto or OpenEmbedded setup. The layer can be […]
