Introducing micropython-wolfssl

wolfSSL is excited to announce micropython-wolfssl, an external module for MicroPython that enables wolfSSL to be used for TLS and cryptographic operations. 

MicroPython is a lean and efficient implementation of the Python 3 programming language that includes a small subset of the Python standard library and is optimized to run on microcontrollers and in constrained environments. 

micropython-wolfssl replaces the built-in module implementations of SSL/TLS, encryption, and hashing, and implements its own API-compatible version built on top of wolfSSL. It also provides MicroPython users with TLS 1.3 capability, which currently does not exist in the upstream TLS implementation. Currently, the module supports both the Unix and STM32 MicroPython ports, the latter of which has been tested on both the STM NUCLEO-F446RE and PyBoard-v1.1 development boards.

Users can now combine the ease of development and rich high-level abstractions provided by the MicroPython ecosystem with the rock-solid performance and security of wolfSSL. 

You can find micropython-wolfssl in wolfSSL’s open source projects repository and follow the documentation to get started. Please contact us at facts@wolfssl.com with any questions, comments or suggestions.
