Hi!  As you may know from reading our posts here, Team yaSSL is exhibiting at ARM TechCon this week.  What you may not know is that we’ve been working with ARM’s mbed.org team to facilitate a port of wolfSSL to mbed.  Why?  Because hobbyists need security too!  And it is fun.  Here at ARM TechCon, mbed […]

Hi!  About 20% of our users are using CTaoCrypt to provide standalone cryptographic functionality, and about 80% of our users have not thought about using it that way.  The purpose of this blog post is to inform users on how to use CTaoCrypt as a standalone library:  1. CTaoCrypt is available as a function set […]

“The Register” reported on using SHODAN to pinpoint embedded devices that are not properly secured yesterday.  See http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/11/02/scada_search_engine_warning/ for details.  In summary, SHODAN can be used to quickly identify internet connected devices with known exploits.  For us, it points to yet another reason why mobile and embedded systems developers should harden their devices with the […]

Hi!  Do you need OCSP (Online Certificate Status Protocol) in wolfSSL?  Let us know.  We’re currently considering it for a feature addition to our next release.  Sometimes OCSP may be necessary to obtain timely information about the revocation status of a certificate.  OCSP solves that problem.  Additional status information is also available under the protocol.  […]

This mapping allows content which is not under the web server Document Root to be served as part of the web document tree. In other words, URLs […]

The yaSSL Open Source Embedded Web Server supports Access Control Lists. An Access Control List (ACL) allows restrictions to be put on the list of IP addresses which have access to the web server. In the case of the yaSSL Embedded Web Server, the ACL is a comma separated list of IP subnets, where each […]

One of the features of the yaSSL Embedded Web Server is support for Server Side Includes. Server Side Includes (SSI) is a simple interpreted server-side scripting language which is most commonly used to include the contents of a file into a web page. It can be useful when it is desirable to include a common […]
