Hi!  We are currently putting together a build of wolfSSL for the Android platform, specifically for users that require a small footprint embedded ssl library.  The development effort is will result in wolfSSL operating as an SSL provider for Java on the Android platform.  The natural byproduct of this project is that we’ll have a […]

yaSSL has now been partnered with ARM for 18 months!  Why is yaSSL partnered with ARM?  Simply stated, because so many of our users and customers are running on the ARM chipset.  Users choose wolfSSL on ARM because it is fast, lightweight, and easily embedded to secure connected application software.  To meet the needs of […]

yaSSL, the leading C++ based ssl library, is now available for download. This release of yaSSL contains bug fixes, new testing certs, and a security patch for a potential heap overflow on forged application data processing. Vulnerability discovered by Matthieu Bonetti from VUPEN Security (http://www.vupen.com).

We recently announced a beta version of secure Memcache is available to the community.  Users are excited about having SSL available in memcache, but show concern about the performance cost of enabling security.  With this feedback in mind, we benchmarked secure memcache performance against standard memcache.  See the graph below for comparison of secure memcache […]

We have ported wolfSSL to the ThreadX operating environment!   Our decision to invest in the porting process is based on strong customer demand for a small footprint, high performance, royalty free SSL library on ThreadX.  ThreadX and wolfSSL have a lot in common.  Both companies operate under similar business models, target similar usage profiles, and […]

Hi! As of this writing, wolfSSL, which is our small embedded SSL library, supports all of the most commonly used OpenSSL functions.  As time goes on, we are incrementally improving our OpenSSL compatibility.  Our process for improvement is driven by two forces.  Firstly, we respond to customer requirements.  Our customers migrate from OpenSSL to wolfSSL for a variety […]

Did you know that wolfSSL is integrated into the LuCI project, which is a web interface for embedded devices?  LuCI is an interface tool for wireless routers.  See here for project details:  http://luci.subsignal.org/

The wolfSSL embedded ssl library and Gnu TLS are the first SSL libraries to support the new TLS 1.2 standard.  The TLS specification can be found here:  http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5246.txt.  The first browser to support TLS 1.2 is Opera.  It appears that TLS 1.2 support is also available in Windows 7, though not by default.  As of […]

Hi!  We have embedded wolfSSL into Memcache and are now making it available to beta testers.  There are no obligations for beta testers, so if you want to just review our changes to the source, that is fine.  The first beta will not include client libraries, and we currently don’t know which ones should be supported, […]
