In December 2022, 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 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. The […]

Doing FIPS responsibly since 2014! FIPS is a set of standards, detailed in Special Publications, that need to be met to be awarded a FIPS validation/certification published on the NIST website. A FIPS certificate, with the product listed in the certificate, is required to sell product(s) to medical, federal, or military agencies and is often […]

Doing FIPS responsibly since 2014! INTRO (wolfSSL FIPS service(s)): (skip to next paragraph for “What is FIPS”) FIPS is rightly viewed as a complex process with a steep entry learning curve. Lucky for customers of wolfSSL Inc. our management and engineering team have taken the time to learn the documentation surrounding the topic and developed […]

This week we are tackling the question: what is the difference between FIPS 140-2 and FIPS 140-3? wolfSSL is currently the leader in embedded FIPS certificates. The wolfCrypt module holds the world’s first SP800-140Br1 FIPS 140-3 validated certificate #4718. We always strive to keep our users up to date on the latest standards! With various […]

wolfSSL Inc. is very pleased to announce our wolf pack has successfully hunted down and captured the ever elusive FIPS 140-3 certificate! The world’s first automated submission (SP800-140Br1) FIPS 140-3 validated certificate #4718 posted to the NIST website on July 11th 2024, valid through July 10th, 2029! “wolfSSL remains focused on enhancing our technologies and […]

The CAVP (Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program) now has testing available for ML-KEM (Kyber) and ML-DSA (Dilithium). Initial Draft standards for these algorithms have been released as FIPS-203 and FIPS-204 respectively. You can find the various .json test cases here: https://github.com/usnistgov/ACVP-Server/tree/master/gen-val/json-files/ML-DSA-keyGen-FIPS204 https://github.com/usnistgov/ACVP-Server/tree/master/gen-val/json-files/ML-DSA-sigGen-FIPS204 https://github.com/usnistgov/ACVP-Server/tree/master/gen-val/json-files/ML-DSA-sigVer-FIPS204 https://github.com/usnistgov/ACVP-Server/tree/master/gen-val/json-files/ML-KEM-keyGen-FIPS203 https://github.com/usnistgov/ACVP-Server/tree/master/gen-val/json-files/ML-KEM-encapDecap-FIPS203 Whenever you’re ready, we’ll be able to do CAVP testing of […]

We have tested wolfCrypt using the Nvidia A10, A100, and H100 GPU architectures. Using the AesEncrypt_C function from wolfCrypt, we added the CUDA acceleration wrappers to determine the performance of the algorithm running on a GPU. The implementation simply hijacks the calls to AesEncrypt_C and AesEncryptBlock_C and uses the CUDA wrappers to run the function […]
