wolfSSL is bringing FIPS 140-3 to the NVIDIA Jetson Orin GPU platform, in both kernel and userspace contexts, with a kernel module alongside user-space cryptography that works under OpenSSL, GnuTLS, and Gcrypt, requiring no or minimal changes to applications. Download wolfSSL → It is ARM64-native and uses AES-XTS to meet the high throughput demands of […]
Read MoreMore TagBringing FIPS 140-3 to Proxmox Virtual Environments with wolfCrypt-FIPS
Organizations in government, healthcare, finance, and critical infrastructure sectors are required to meet stringent compliance standards, and FIPS 140-3 certification has become a key requirement for cryptographic modules used in regulated environments. wolfSSL is uniquely positioned to help bring this level of certification to Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE), one of the most popular open-source virtualization […]
Read MoreMore TagThe DEADBEEF RNG Example Revisited
A while ago we had made a blog post and a patch that showed how someone could integrate their new RNG (Random Number Generator) into our wolfCrypt library. That methodology works, but it has a fairly obvious flaw. It assumed your RNG included the DRBG (Deterministic Random Bit Generator) as part of its implementation. You […]

Looking to make FIPS 140-3 validation a key part of your brand? While you can leverage any one of wolfSSL’s active FIPS certificates, many customers prefer to have the certificate issued directly in their company’s name. This process is known as an OEM Rebrand (RBND) and is a streamlined way to claim full ownership of […]
