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 […]

Would you like to see the wolfSSL embedded SSL library integrated into the popular Qt framework? We’ve been throwing around the idea of adding wolfSSL support to Qt and want to hear your feedback. If wolfSSL was integrated into Qt, it would be available as a build option and alternative to using Qt with OpenSSL. […]

We would like to recommend an article from EE Times that we recently read which talks about the design and challenges of wireless sensor networks. This article explains some of the challenges faced when implementing a wireless sensor network and the different architectures which can be used, including both clustered sensor architectures and layered architectures. […]

Team yaSSL has recently been considering the addition of the Camellia block cipher to the wolfSSL embedded SSL library, and we would like to request your feedback on this addition. Do you think it would be a beneficial addition? If it was added to wolfSSL, would you be interested in using it? Because we strive […]

Version 2.0.8 of the wolfSSL embedded SSL/TLS library has been released and is now available for download.  This release contains bug fixes, some feature enhancements, and is a recommended update for all users: – A fix for malicious certificates pointed out by Remi Gacogne (thanks!) resulting in NULL pointer use.– Respond to renegotiation attempt with no_renegoatation […]

Hi!  We have been asked a number of times about CyaSSL integration with the Nginx web server.  If you are not familiar with Nginx, it is a high performance, high concurrency web server that is becoming extremely popular these days.  You can learn more about Nginx at nginx.com. Nginx and CyaSSL make a likely pairing because […]

Hi!  The security world has been buzzing this week about two new sets of research into what we will call statistical key cracking.  The hack is one that we would not expect out of your average script kiddie, because it combines sophisticated scanning with mathematical prowess.  The overview story is the first link below.  The […]

wolfSSL is now available as a crypto provider for KoanLogic’s SCS library, LibSCS. SCS, a small cryptographic protocol layered on top of the HTTP cookie facility [RFC6265], allows its users to produce and consume authenticated and encrypted cookies, as opposed to usual cookies, which are un-authenticated and sent in clear text. From the LibSCS README, […]

yaSSL currently secures over 50 million points on the internet.  We don’t talk about who is using CyaSSL, for obvious reasons, but the numbers are big and growing. We take our work seriously, and hope you feel comfortable with our efforts.  We endeavor to build a business, a community, and do the right thing.  We […]

Did you know that the wolfSSL embedded SSL library supports FreeRTOS and OpenRTOS? FreeRTOS is a real-time operating system for embedded devices which is designed to be both small and simple. With an incredibly large user base, FreeRTOS/OpenRTOS supports 27 architectures and is downloaded from over 77 thousand times every year! Just like wolfSSL, FreeRTOS […]
