*** Description ***
The wolfSSL embedded SSL library (formerly CyaSSL) is a lightweight SSL/TLS
library written in ANSI C and targeted for embedded, RTOS, and
resource-constrained environments - primarily because of its small size, speed,
and feature set. It is commonly used in standard operating environments as well
because of its royalty-free pricing and excellent cross platform support. wolfSSL
supports industry standards up to the current TLS 1.2 and DTLS 1.2 levels, is up
to 20 times smaller than OpenSSL, and offers progressive ciphers such as ChaCha20,
Curve25519, NTRU, and Blake2b. User benchmarking and feedback reports
dramatically better performance when using wolfSSL over OpenSSL.
wolfSSL is powered by the wolfCrypt library. A version of the wolfCrypt
cryptography library has been FIPS 140-2 validated (Certificate #2425). For
additional information, visit the wolfCrypt FIPS FAQ
(https://www.wolfssl.com/license/fips/) or contact fips@wolfssl.com
*** Why choose wolfSSL? ***
There are many reasons to choose wolfSSL as your embedded SSL solution. Some of
the top reasons include size (typical footprint sizes range from 20-100 kB),
support for the newest standards (SSL 3.0, TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, TLS 1.2, TLS 1.3,
DTLS 1.0, and DTLS 1.2), current and progressive cipher support (including stream
ciphers), multi-platform, royalty free, and an OpenSSL compatibility API to ease
porting into existing applications which have previously used the OpenSSL package.
