What is the difference in modes with wpa_supplicant using wolfSSL FIPS vs non FIPS? Some of the algorithms are restricted when using CONFIG_FIPS=y while building wpa_supplicant. This is not a limitation in wpa_supplicant or in wolfSSL, but is due to restrictions and guidelines put in place for FIPS. To help avoid using algorithms that have […]

wolfSSL and Intel have jointly published a white paper on the advantages of using the wolfBoot secure bootloader together with 11th Gen Intel Core processors.  The white paper has been published on wolfSSL’s White Paper page and can be downloaded today! This white paper introduces the wolfBoot secure bootloader and 11th Gen Intel Core i7 […]

One of the primary distinctions between wolfSSL and other security libraries is the availability of commercial support packages (https://www.wolfssl.com/products/support-and-maintenance/). The Premium Support package includes these benefits: Having your build configuration tested by our Nightly CI ensures that any changes made to the library will not cause regressions to your project! Having a highly configurable library […]

A little while ago, we wrote a blog post (https://www.wolfssl.com/nsa-announces-cnsa-suite-2-0/) and did a webinar (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiykMe-pjqo) about the CNSA 2.0 announcement(https://media.defense.gov/2022/Sep/07/2003071834/-1/-1/0/CSA_CNSA_2.0_ALGORITHMS_.PDF).  It discusses the need for preparing to use post-quantum algorithms.  For signature schemes, it specifies Dilithium Level 5 as a good general purpose algorithm and LMS and XMSS as being good for signing software and […]

This past December, NIST announced that the venerable SHA-1 algorithm, introduced in 1995, is at end-of-life.  While wolfSSL does not use or recommend SHA-1 for new designs, we do implement and support it in our products.  With the NIST announcement, that will soon change for new FIPS 140 submissions, as we too will retire SHA-1. […]
