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 […]

Currently, it officially supports 27 architectures and is downloaded over 77 thousand times every year. Like wolfSSL, FreeRTOS is portable, open source and royalty free. If you are […]
