wolfSSH 1.4.14 is now available for download! This is the next version of our lightweight, IoT friendly SSH implementation. There were some good fixes and improvements made to the code base for this release. A couple of the notable additions were: Adding user authentication support for RSA signing with SHA2-256 and SHA2-512 (Following RFC 8332) […]

Another new addition in our 5.6.2 release of wolfSSL is our TLS hardening option. This TLS hardening feature secures your TLS connections according to the recommendations in RFC 9325. When enabled, wolfSSL will: disable TLS versions older than 1.2 disable cipher suites based on ephemeral finite-field Diffie-Hellman key agreement finite-field Diffie-Hellman key agreement (i.e., “TLS_DHE_*” […]

One of the unique wolfSSL features is the ability to run wolfSSL on bare-metal without any Real-Time Operating System (RTOS). Supporting bare-metal has always been a requirement for our libraries from initial development. Having a pure C code base, no external dependencies, portable design and modular build options enables this feature and provides a tiny […]

At wolfSSL we are always trying to make the security developer’s job easier. We’ve found that a common problem facing our customers is the need to convert between PEM and DER. PEM is a Base64, ASCII encoding that is used for X.509 certificates, certificate requests and cryptographic keys. DER is a binary encoding and is […]

wolfSSL release 5.6.2 and 5.6.3 contained 6 vulnerability fixes. The listed issues were found by external researchers (thanks to their efforts! you can see them mentioned on each of the reports). In cases where a malicious agent could analyze cache timing at a very detailed level, information about the AES key used could be leaked […]

Would you like to learn more about how SSL/TLS work, or more about the wolfSSL lightweight SSL library? If so, wolfSSL is offering a training course on SSL/TLS and wolfSSL. The FREE 2 day (4 hours each day) wolfSSL training course covers details of SSL/TLS as well as the wolfSSL embedded SSL library. Participants will […]

As mentioned in a previous post, OpenSSL 1.1.1 branch of releases will hit End of Life (EoL) by September 11th, 2023.  That’s right, it’s not a typo!  It’s about 3 months away! It’s already listed as an old release branch here:  https://www.openssl.org/source/old/ . Are you sure you are ready to tackle the migration to their […]

With its abstraction layers, OpenSSL compatibility layer, small size, and low runtime memory usage, the wolfSSL embedded SSL/TLS library is an excellent choice when porting to a new device or when looking to use TLS functionality in embedded environments and operating systems. One of the operating systems is the real-time eCos! eCos is a free […]

wolfSSL is excited to announce micropython-wolfssl, an external module for MicroPython that enables wolfSSL to be used for TLS and cryptographic operations.  MicroPython is a lean and efficient implementation of the Python 3 programming language that includes a small subset of the Python standard library and is optimized to run on microcontrollers and in constrained environments.  […]

Serious, commercial-grade encryption tools are essential in every developer’s programming toolbox. We at wolfSSL continue to embrace the exciting new technologies at Espressif for the ESP32 SoC chipsets. Today, we announce the first availability of the wolfSSL embedded encryption libraries in the ESP Registry located at components.espressif.com.  Add wolfSSL to your project: This new capability […]
