The embedded systems landscape continues to evolve rapidly, with developers demanding robust security solutions that seamlessly integrate with their preferred development tools and real-time operating systems. Today, we’re excited to announce that wolfSSL’s comprehensive security suite will support the HighTec compiler and RTOS, bringing enterprise-grade cryptographic capabilities to even more embedded applications.
Comprehensive Security for HighTec Environments
This new support will encompass our complete security ecosystem:
- wolfSSL – Our flagship TLS/SSL library can compile cleanly with HighTec’s advanced optimization features, ensuring minimal memory footprint while maintaining maximum security. Whether you’re building IoT devices, industrial controllers, or automotive systems, wolfSSL delivers the cryptographic protocols you need with the performance HighTec users expect.
- wolfBoot – Secure boot has never been more critical for embedded systems. Our wolfBoot secure bootloader will integrate seamlessly with HighTec-compiled applications, providing verified boot processes that protect against firmware tampering and ensure only authenticated code executes on your devices. The combination of HighTec’s efficient code generation and wolfBoot’s security features creates a powerful foundation for trustworthy embedded systems.
- wolfHSM – Hardware Security Module functionality comes to HighTec environments through wolfHSM, enabling secure key storage, cryptographic operations, and hardware-based root of trust. This integration will allow developers to leverage dedicated security hardware while maintaining the development workflow they know and trust.
Why This Matters
The HighTec compiler family has long been trusted by embedded developers for its superior code optimization and comprehensive target support. By adding native wolfSSL support, we’re eliminating the integration barriers that previously required custom porting efforts. This means:
- Faster Time to Market: No more wrestling with compiler-specific adaptations
- Optimized Performance: HighTec’s advanced optimizations will work seamlessly with our security libraries
- Reduced Risk: Proven security implementations without the uncertainty of custom ports
- Future-Proof: Ongoing support ensures compatibility with future HighTec releases
Real-World Impact
Consider an industrial automation system running on a HighTec-supported microcontroller. With this new support, developers can now implement:
- Secure communication channels using wolfSSL’s TLS 1.3 implementation
- Verified boot sequences through wolfBoot integration
- Hardware-backed key management via wolfHSM
All while leveraging HighTec’s industry-leading code optimization and debugging capabilities.
Looking Forward
This expansion represents more than just another compiler target – it’s part of our ongoing commitment to making robust security accessible across the entire embedded ecosystem. As embedded systems become increasingly connected and critical to our daily lives, having trusted security solutions that work with your preferred tools becomes essential.
The combination of HighTec’s development excellence and wolfSSL’s security expertise opens new possibilities for secure embedded applications. Whether you’re protecting industrial control systems, securing IoT deployments, or building the next generation of connected devices, this integration provides the foundation you need.
