Version 3.0.0 of wolfssl-wolfcrypt is now available on crates.io. This is the Rust wrapper crate for the wolfCrypt cryptography library. This release focuses on safety improvements and increased compatibility with various build configurations and FIPS configurations. This release includes a major version bump because several APIs changed so that mistakes show up earlier and failures […]

wolfSSL ships many products. They build with autotools, CMake, plain Make, IAR Embedded Workbench, Zephyr, and IDE projects. Each product needs an SBOM, but each product should not keep its own copy of the SBOM logic. wolfssl-compliance-tooling is the shared toolkit. A product describes its own build. The toolkit turns that description into CycloneDX 1.6 […]

If you use an NXP EdgeLock SE050 or SE051 secure element with wolfSSL, you’ll want to upgrade to 5.9.4. The SE05x port got a lot of work this release. Some of it adds APIs people have been asking for. Some of it was needed because newer silicon changed the rules. ECDH on applet 7.2 The […]

wolfSSL was OpenWrt’s default TLS library from the 21.02 release until 23.05, when OpenWrt switched to Mbed TLS. One of the reasons given was that Mbed TLS is “considerably smaller”. In part one, I compared wolfSSL, Mbed TLS and OpenSSL on a 650 MHz MIPS router. There, the wolfSSL image came out within 13 KB […]

OpenWrt is the Linux distribution behind a huge number of home routers, access points and small embedded boards. wolfSSL was its default TLS library from the 21.02 release until 23.05, when OpenWrt switched to Mbed TLS. One of the reasons given was that Mbed TLS is “considerably smaller”. A lot has changed in wolfSSL since […]

In the aerospace and defense (A&D) sectors, security, performance, and deterministic assurance are mission-critical. And as various industries prepare for the Post-Quantum Cryptography transition, embedded developers need development tools and security libraries that don’t compromise on constrained system resources. wolfSSL and IAR provide a proven complementary solution that combines an optimized embedded toolchain with lightweight, […]
