## wolfSSL Embedded SSL/TLS Library
## [wolfSSL Embedded SSL/TLS Library](https://wolfssl.com/wolfSSL/Products-wolfssl.html)
### What is it?
The wolfSSL embedded TLS library is a lightweight SSL/TLS library written in ANSI standard C and targeted for embedded and RTOS 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 cross platform support. wolfSSL supports industry standards up to the current TLS 1.2 level, 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 a more tested and secure alternative to OpenSSL. For more on our testing please see our blog post [Here](https://wolfssl.com/wolfSSL/Blog/Entries/2016/2/12_Overview_of_Testing_in_wolfSSL.html)
### Ease of Use
wolfSSL is built for maximum portability and is generally very easy to compile on new platforms. Several abstraction layers (including operating system, Custom I/O, and Standard C library), a simple API, and an OpenSSL compatibility layer make it easier than ever to get working in your environment or on your platform.

Several abstraction layers (including operating system, Custom I/O, and Standard C library), a simple API, and an OpenSSL compatibility layer make it easier than ever to get working in your environment or on your platform. For porting to non-standard environments wolfSSL has put together a [porting guide](https://wolfssl.com/wolfSSL/Docs-wolfssl-porting-guide.html) for our users!
### Language Support
wolfSSL supports the C programming language as a primary interface. It also supports several other host languages, including Java, C#, PHP, Perl, and Python (through a swig interface). If you have interest in using wolfSSL in another programming language that it does not currently support, please contact wolfSSL.

Supported languages documentation can be found on our [documents page](https://wolfssl.com/wolfSSL/Docs.html) under the "Technical Documentation" section.

For Java users, the [wolfSSL JNI](https://www.wolfssl.com/wolfSSL/Products-wolfssljni.html) package has been designed to be used specifically with wolfSSL. This provides a JNI wrapper around wolfSSL to save Java developers time and effort.
