The wolfSSL team is pleased to announce that the Ada language wrapper for wolfSSL version 5.8.0 is now prepared for inclusion in the Alire package index. This update represents an important milestone in making wolfSSL’s industry-leading cryptographic library more accessible to the Ada programming community through their native package management ecosystem.
For those unfamiliar with Ada, it is a programming language that was specifically designed with safety, reliability, and maintainability as core principles. Originally developed for mission- and safety-critical systems in aerospace and defense applications, Ada has evolved into a powerful language that excels in any domain where software correctness is required. The language features strong static typing, compile-time error detection, and built-in support for concurrent programming, making it particularly well-suited for systems where failures can have catastrophic consequences. Ada’s design philosophy emphasizes catching errors at compile time rather than runtime.
The integration of wolfSSL with Ada through the Alire package manager brings several significant advantages to developers working in high-assurance environments. Alire, which stands for Ada Library Repository, is Ada’s modern package manager that simplifies dependency management and project configuration. By making wolfSSL available through Alire, developers can now seamlessly integrate wolfSSL’s lightweight SSL/TLS implementation into their Ada projects with minimal configuration overhead.
The combination of Ada’s safety-focused language features with wolfSSL’s FIPS 140-3 validated cryptography offers a robust foundation for applications in industries such as aerospace, medical devices, industrial control systems, and other domains where security and reliability cannot be compromised.
Afraid your code is going to keep you awake at night worrying about the next crash? With wolfSSL and ADA, that combination will have you sleeping easy.
