wolfSSL is a popular tool for digitally signing applications, libraries or files prior to loading them on embedded devices. As such, it is ideal for signing firmware updates. The reason that embedded RTOS environments do not include digital signature functionality is because it has historically not been a requirement for most embedded applications.  However, in […]

Hi!  Most of our readers will already know that AES is a key encryption standard used by governments worldwide, and that wolfSSL has always supported AES.  Intel has released a new set of instructions that is a faster way to implement AES, and wolfSSL is currently the first ssl library to fully support the new instruction […]

Here’s a nice article for embedded designers faced with securing an 802.11 device:  https://www.embedded.com/design/prototyping-and-development/4206409/10-things-to-consider-when-securing-an-embedded-802-11-Wi-Fi-device. Stapko’s item 8 on the list caught our attention.  He correctly states that “Wi-Fi security protocols are big and slow.”  However, the article is an overview, and is not intended to discuss which ones are bigger and slower, and which ones are […]

John Sawyer of Dark Reading has put out another great blog post on using SHODAN to find exposed network devices like “printers, routers, fiber channel switches and industrial control systems” on a corporate network, and provides some useful advice for discovering those devices.  See:  https://www.darkreading.com/risk/finding-exposed-devices-on-your-network/d/d-id/1134269? for the full post.

Have you ever wondered if there is a reason for the wolf in our logo? Why does a security company that focuses on embedded SSL products choose a wolf over any number of possible logo designs? We chose a wolf to be part of our logo for several reasons: • Wolves like to live in […]
