wolfSSL has recently made important improvements to its Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) support. A recent fix in pull request #7779 addresses an issue where the OCSP request was incorrectly freed when saved in ssl->ctx->certOcspRequest. This update ensures that the OCSP request is properly retained, enhancing the stability and reliability of certificate status checking. In […]

Boost DES and 3DES ECB Performance with NXP’s MMCAU in wolfSSL
Starting in wolfSSL 5.7.4, it is now supported to use NXP’s MMCAU hardware accelerator to handle DES and 3DES ECB Crypto Operations. This addition to the MMCAU hardware port can be seen in PR #7960. The MMCAU can be used to speed up other cryptography algorithms in wolfSSL like: AES – 128/192/256 MD5 SHA – […]

Are you looking to add FIPS 140-3 certified cryptography to your Realm database? wolfSSL has you covered! We’ve successfully integrated wolfSSL into Realm, providing you with robust TLS and cryptographic functionality. A version tested on Linux is available, and we can also help you enable support for platforms like Android and iOS upon request. Getting […]
Read MoreMore TagGetting Started with wolfSSL using Visual Studio 2022
It’s never been easier to get started with wolfSSL on Microsoft Windows using Visual Studio 2022! New VS2022-specific project and solutions files have been created for both the wolfssl/wolfcrypt core library, as well as the test and benchmark examples. These files are available immediately on GitHub and are included in the recent release. For long […]
Read MoreMore TagVersal Support
Did you know that wolfSSL has been ported to and tested on Xilinx Versal hardware? There is support also in wolfSSL to make use of the Xilinx hardened crypto, enhancing both security and performance. Xilinx hardened crypto has accelerated crypto operations (SHA3-384 / AES-GCM / RSA / ECDSA) available on Ultrascale+ devices and is available […]
Read MoreMore TagChanges In wolfSSL for ARM Thumb-2 Builds
With wolfSSL release 5.7.4 we added the macro WOLFSSL_ARMASM_THUMB2. This macro can be defined to enable Thumb-2 ARM instruction optimizations and replaces the previous attempted autodetect on the macros __arm__ and __thumb__. Giving users complete control over which ARM assembly optimizations are compiled and used. When building for Thumb-2 the source files beginning with thumb2-* […]
Read MoreMore TagSwitching to wolfCrypt’s Implementations of Post-Quantum Algorithms
Have you been trying out post-quantum algorithms in wolfSSL’s products? As you probably know, here at wolfSSL we have a step-wise approach to post-quantum algorithm integration: Define an API in wolfCrypt. Do an integration with an existing reference implementation (ie.: liboqs, PQM4, hash-sigs liblms, xmss-reference). Use these APIs in higher level libraries and products (ie.: […]
Read MoreMore TagDo you need post quantum versions of Apache, NGINX, Lighttpd, cURL, or stunnel?
Our wolfSSL library has several post-quantum algorithms built in, but on their own, they aren’t always useful. How else can the PQC algorithms be used in production? Well, one of our areas of expertise is getting other open-source projects working with wolfSSL and then getting those integrations using post-quantum algorithms. We have post-quantum integrations with […]
Read MoreMore TagMAX32666 and MAX32665 Hardware Acceleration added to wolfSSL
wolfSSL now supports using the Trust Protection Unit (TPU), Modular Arithmetic Accelerator (MAA), and TRNG provided by Analog Devices MAX32666 and MAX32665 microcontrollers. The implementation can be seen in PR #7777 to wolfSSL, and is in wolfSSL starting at 5.7.4! The port offers various usage options: fully leveraging all hardware features, selectively enabling specific hardware […]
Read MoreMore TagX509 Attribute Certificate support
wolfSSL is adding support for X509 Attribute Certificates (ACERTs, for short), enabled with –enable-acert. This initial support includes reading, printing, and verifying. Furthermore, it uses our new ASN.1 template implementation, and supports RSA-PSS as well. But what is an X509 Attribute Certificate, and how does it differ from the more commonly encountered X509 Public Key […]
