In today’s digital landscape, the need for robust authentication mechanisms has never been more crucial. Among the various methods available, SPAKE (Simple Password-Authenticated Key Exchange) stands out as an enhanced security solution for authenticating users. SPAKE represents a significant advancement over traditional password-based authentication, which often relies on static hashes. By leveraging a shared secret […]

When wolfSSL_UseKeyShare() is not Enough
Ladies and gentlemen, it’s story time!! Once upon a time, there was a network administrator that only wanted to use the strongest NIST-approved ECC encryption available within the TLS 1.3 protocol. They picked ECDHE over the secp521r1 curve. When they went to code their application, they wanted the best TLS library available so they naturally […]

As part of our ongoing effort to maintain the highest level of security and performance, we are announcing the upcoming deprecation of RC2 from wolfCrypt. All of our products depend on wolfCrypt for their algorithm implementations so this could have consequences across our whole product line. What is RC2? RC2 is a symmetric-key block cipher […]
Read MoreMore TagTLS vs. SSH: When To Use Which
TLS and SSH are both widely used protocols used for creating secure connections between two systems over a secure network. But, they are designed for different use cases, so today we are going to take a quick dive into when you should use which. About TLS TLS (Transport Layer Security) is what is most commonly […]
