Challenge
In 2004, Larry Stefonic and Todd Ouska realized there was no other open source, dual licensed embedded SSL library available. OpenSSL was available at the time, but many OpenSSL users wanted an alternative that was easily portable, smaller, faster, available under a clear commercial license, was equipped with a clean and modern API, and offered commercial-style developer support. Out of this market need, wolfSSL, complete with an OpenSSL compatibility layer, was born. Since then, wolfSSL has developed a number of embedded security products:
- wolfSSL is a C-language-based lightweight SSL/TLS library targeted for embedded and RTOS environments, primarily because of its small size, speed, portability, and feature set.
- wolfCrypt is a C-language-based embedded cryptography engine, offering low memory usage, optimized speed, high portability, and strong feature set.
- wolfCrypt FIPS is a version of wolfCrypt which has been FIPS 140-2 validated (Certificate #2425).
- wolfSSH is a small, portable SSH implementation currently in its early phases targeted for use by embedded systems developers.
