Some of you may be familiar with the TLS 1.2 signature_algorithm extension, and might be curious if wolfSSL supports it. The signature_algorithm extension is found in section 7.4.1.4.1 RFC5246 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5246#section-7.4.1.4.1), and is a hello extension of type supported_signature_algorithms. The purpose of this extension is to allow clients to indicate to the server which signature/hash algorithm […]

You may have not realized it, but wolfSSL is very popular for game development, and is in use in millions of games.   Here`s why:   1. Experienced:  The yaSSL team has been supplying game developers with an efficient, portable SSL Stack for years. 2. Small:  Our code size is small.  We won`t bog down […]

One predominant question we get asked frequently is what are the build size and runtime memory usage of the wolfSSL embedded SSL library.  Hopefully this post will help clear things up. Firstly, wolfSSL was built from the ground up to be optimized for embedded and resource-constrained devices and environments.  As such, we have kept a […]

Do you want to install a HTTPS-capable web server on your Apple TV?

Following our port of wolfSSL to the second generation Apple TV, our next step was to […]

The Apple TV brought with it a long list of desirable and useful features for the home – including high usability, a small form factor, easy setup, and low cost. We here at yaSSL are users and fans of the second generation Apple TV, and as such, recently ported the wolfSSL embedded SSL library to […]

Most of the focus of wolfSSL has been towards the embedded world, emphasizing small size, speed, and low memory use.  Ironically, these attributes also make wolfSSL ideal for scaling on a huge magnitude.   Other libraries often run into problems when trying to scale to hundreds of thousands of connections for applications like load balancing or […]

With release candidate 2, the full 2.0 version of wolfSSL is drawing near. We have chosen to put out several release candidates for wolfSSL 2.0 because of the volume of new features that were added combined with the number of bugs that are fixed in this release. We would like to invite any interested developers […]

Recently we’ve been working on enhancing and expanding our documentation and focusing on making it more useful for our users. One of the things that we recently released is an API Reference for the wolfSSL embedded SSL library. The wolfSSL API reference is available both online and in the wolfSSL Manual PDF. You can find […]

Cipher suites come in a variety of strengths.  Because they are made up of several different types of algorithms (authentication, encryption, and message authentication code (MAC)), the strength of each varies with the chosen key sizes.  There can be many methods of grading the strength of a cipher suite – the specific method used seems […]
