2011 looks to be another interesting year in the embedded systems marketplace according to VDC’s predictions outlined here:  https://www.eetimes.com/author.asp?section_id=36&doc_id=1265937. If you’ve been reading our commentary, then you know that we think they’re right on with item 5:  OEMs to increase use of web security test tools.  This just makes a world of sense given the high […]

So what made it into the wolfSSL Holiday Release?  We think a few items that users will appreciate.  Some concern increased portability through the os_settings.h file and the new C Standard Library Abstraction layer.  Others lower memory use through configurable input/output buffer sizes and less dynamic memory use.  For the readers out there we now […]

You may have recently read our blog post regarding Exposed Private Keys and how you may create secure private keys for SSL-enabled devices using wolfSSL. If your application or framework needs to be secured with SSL/TLS but you are uncertain about how the optimal design of a secured system would be structured, we can help! […]

A recent blog about “Breaking SSL on Embedded Devices” has been making the rounds recently.  It`s not an attack on SSL, it`s an attack on weak private key security. Specifically, embedding a private key into firmware allows anyone to extract the key and turns an otherwise secure connection into something nothing more secure than TCP. We […]

We saw a post on a mailing list recently that questioned the maturity of wolfSSL.  The post came as a surprise.  We think wolfSSL is pretty mature by most standards!  Here’s our key points on wolfSSL’s maturity: 1. It is on its 29th release.2. It has been vetted out in the open source community for 6 […]

Will it be a new release with awesome new embedded ssl features?  What could those features possibly be?  Will it be even faster and smaller?  More portable?  New ciphers?  Do you think you know what the yaSSL community is getting for Christmas this year?  Send us your guess to info@yassl.com!

Here’s a nice article on Android’s security flaws and latent bugs from the CTO of Green Hills Software, Dave Kleidermacher :  https://www.embedded.com/electronics-blogs/davek-security-blog/4211444/Angry-Bird-droppings. Looks like there is some work to be done to help properly secure Android!

wolfSSL is modular. We’ve got two key modules: wolfSSL handles all SSL needs while CTaoCrypt handles all cryptographic needs including block ciphers, stream ciphers, message digests, hashing, public key cryptography, certificates, and various helper utilities.  Our topic for this post is our crypto module CTaoCrypt.  CTaoCrypt is our implementation of cryptography components including various block and stream […]
