We`ve noticed a couple articles lately mentioning printers as potential attack vectors.  One is particularly disturbing in that not only is a network breach possible, as if that`s not bad enough, but cracked firmware could cause a printer to heat up enough to start a fire: http://redtape.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/11/29/9076395-exclusive-millions-of-printers-open-to-devastating-hack-attack-researchers-say .   An easy way to prevent attack […]

Ever wondered what forward secrecy is and how it applies to SSL/TLS?  Forward secrecy protects current encryption even in the event of a future crack of a long term private key.  Using ephemeral keying in TLS with DHE or ECDHE yields this protection because the temporary key is unique and never used again.  So even […]

We often get asked how wolfSSL compares to OpenSSL and what advantages it brings to a project if it replaces a current OpenSSL implementation. To give you a short comparison, see the points below. • Size: With a 30-100kB build size and runtime memory usage between 3-36kB, wolfSSL can be up to 20 times smaller […]

yaSSL has recently ported the MIT Kerberos libraries to Android. The Android platform has previously been void of Kerberos support – forcing Android developers who are creating new applications or porting existing projects to either modify existing code or exclude Kerberos functionality from their apps and libraries altogether. yaSSL has taken the first steps in […]

We recently did a preliminary port of wolfSSL to Microchip’s PIC32, which will be further explained and announced in a future release of wolfSSL. Are you using wolfSSL with a Microchip board? If so, we’re prepared to support you if you run into any problems or issues. Let us know at info@yassl.com if you’ve tried […]

Why is wolfSSL a great solution when you have millions of connections per server?  Memory consumption per connection can be as low as 3k, varying with the size of input and output buffers. This brings wolfSSL’s runtime memory consumption to 3-36kB depending on buffer size. Input and output buffers are created on demand when smaller […]

During the ARM Technology Conference last week, ARM and Avnet Electronics Marketing announced the launch of their online Embedded Software Store. The goal of this store is to provide developers and companies a single place to easily explore, find, and purchase software components, thus helping bring new products to market faster than ever. The store […]

We`ve noticed a trend lately of the latest operating systems and browsers removing support for MD5 signed SSL certificates.  iOS 5, IE 9, and others have moved away from MD5.  wolfSSL now signs certificates with SHA-1 by default and has support for SHA-256 signed certificates as well.  If anyone would like support for SHA-512 please […]
