wolfSSL and MIKEY-SAKKE

wolfSSL is implementing MIKEY-SAKKE!

MIKEY-SAKKE is a standard created by the UK government’s National Cyber Security Center (NCSC) designed to enable secure, cross-platform multimedia communications. It is highly scalable, requiring no prior setup between users or distribution of user certificates. It is designed to be centrally-managed, giving a domain manager full control of the security of the system. Even so, it maintains high availability, as calling does not require interaction with centralized architecture.

wolfSSL is a lightweight TLS/SSL library that is targeted for embedded devices and systems. It has support for the TLS 1.3 protocol, which is a secure protocol for transporting data between devices and across the Internet. In addition, wolfSSL uses the wolfCrypt encryption library to handle its data encryption.

Secure communications are needed across all governments, so governments create policies encouraging the development of security solutions. MIKEY-SAKKE is the answer to the security requirements from the UK government to specify secure, open, and patent-free cryptographic methods. This empowers private industry to provide the government with interoperable secure communication solutions. As a result, many private and commercial organizations perceive a sizable advantage to being MIKEY-SAKKE compliant.
