As WireGuard continues to grow in popularity for its simplicity and efficiency in VPN deployments, security-conscious organizations are increasingly demanding solutions that adhere to stringent security standards, such as FIPS 140-3 or CMMC 2.0. FIPS certification is a key requirement for governmental agencies and industries like defense and healthcare, where secure cryptographic implementations are mandatory and or in spaces where CMMC 2.0 compliance is a must. However, WireGuard’s default cryptographic implementations, while highly secure, are not FIPS-certified.
This is where wolfCrypt steps in. wolfCrypt is a lightweight, portable, and highly optimized cryptographic library that offers FIPS 140-3 certification, making it an ideal partner for users seeking FIPS compliance in their WireGuard deployments.
wolfCrypt FIPS integrates seamlessly with both the C and Go implementations of WireGuard, offering developers flexibility in choosing their preferred solution. For those using the C version of WireGuard, wolfCrypt can also be directly employed in kernel space via the wolfSSL kernel module.
So by leveraging our integration, users can gain access to a VPN solution that is both secure and FIPS-compliant. The performance of WireGuard, combined with the certified cryptographic operations of wolfCrypt, ensures that you don’t sacrifice speed or security. In fact, with wolfCrypt’s ability to utilize hardware acceleration, you might end up with a much faster WireGuard. Additionally, wolfCrypt’s small footprint makes it a practical choice for deployments in constrained environments, including IoT devices, embedded systems, and edge computing setups. You get a robust, certified security layer without bogging down performance.
