wolfSSL will soon be getting support for the Cavium NITROX processors, thus enabling wolfSSL users to take advantage of the incredible performance boosts provided by the NITROX family. Cavium’s NITROX processors combine cryptographic acceleration with the latest security algorithms providing an ideal platform for the next generation of security applications. The NITROX PX family can […]

Version 2.2.0 of the wolfSSL embedded SSL/TLS library has been released and is now available for download.  This release contains bug fixes, feature enhancements, and is a recommended update for all users. Changes include: – Initial CRL (Certificate Revocation Lists) support with –enable-crl– Initial OCSP (Online Certificate Status Protocol) support with –enable-ocsp – Static ECDH […]

Hi!  This is a short note to let you know that we have ported wolfSSL into the sshd sources.  This effort was done for a customer of the wolfSSL embedded SSL product.  This particular customer of ours was looking for a version of OpenSSH with a smaller footprint, TLS 1.2 and some specialized ciphers.  Alpha […]

We`ve added some new features to wolfSSL that will go into the general release this month.  The features are: 1.  Support for SHA-3842.  Client ECC certificates3.  Static ECDH4.  GCM With the addition of SHA-384 and GCM, wolfSSL will become NSA Suite B compliant. If you need access to these features right away, contact us at info@yassl.com […]

Hi yaSSL users!  See the following link for an explanation on SPDY:  https://readwrite.com/2012/04/19/what-web-users-need-to-know-ab/ SPDY is a new protocol for web use proposed by Google and supported by many of the large web companies.  It is based on HTTP, but it is faster and more suited to modern web usage.   You will note that SPDY […]

Network-related applications and devices often use secure communication. Although keeping network communications safe should be a top priority to all developers and engineers, it often gets left behind due to lack of understanding, insufficient funding, or looming deadlines. Securing a project with SSL shouldn’t have to include a steep learning curve, deep pockets, or an […]

We recently found a great article on SSL/TLS interception proxies and transitive trust from Jeff Jarmoc at Dell SecureWorks. In his article, Jeff provides a brief introduction, background, and history of the SSL and TLS protocols, then dives into talking about SSL interception proxies. Reading through the article gives insights into how and why these […]

We recently read a good article from EE Times about security fundamentals for embedded software. This article points out that embedded software and device developers should take security precautions into consideration, as many developers assume that their applications or devices are not vulnerable to attack. Topics covered in the article include doing a “threat analysis” […]

A while back, we posted that the wolfSSL embedded SSL library would be getting support for Galois/Counter Mode (GCM) encryption in the near future. This is still true! If everything goes as planned, GCM support should be generally available for wolfSSL in June of this year. Specifically, GCM will be used in wolfSSL with AES […]
