What is wolfSSL FIPS DLL?
What is wolfSSL FIPS DLL?
In a single sentence, wolfSSL FIPS Ready is a testable and free to download open source embedded SSL/TLS library with support for FIPS validation, with FIPS enabled cryptography layer code included in the wolfSSL source tree.
What does FIPS 140-2 stand for?
FIPS 140-2 is the standard used by the United States government to validate the fact that cryptographic modules and solutions (hardware and software) produced by private sector companies meet the NIST standards and adhere to the Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002 (FISMA).
Are SSL Certificates FIPS 140-2 compliant?
Question: Are SSL Certificates FIPS 140-2 compliant? Short Answer: Yes-ish. But FIPS pertains more to the actual physical protection of digital certificate cryptographic modules.
Does wolfSSL use OpenSSL?
It includes SSL/TLS client libraries and an SSL/TLS server implementation as well as support for multiple APIs, including those defined by SSL and TLS. wolfSSL also includes an OpenSSL compatibility interface with the most commonly used OpenSSL functions.
Is TLS 1.2 FIPS compliant?
FIPS 140-2 compliant encryption requires the use of TLS 1.0 or higher. Government-only applications should use TLS 1.2 or higher.
Where is wolfSSL used?
wolfSSL is actively being used in a wide range of markets and products including the smart grid, IoT, industrial automation, connected home, M2M, auto industry, games, applications, databases, sensors, VoIP, routers, appliances, cloud services, and more.
What is wolfCrypt?
The wolfCrypt cryptography engine is a lightweight crypto library written in ANSI C and targeted for embedded, RTOS, and resource-constrained environments – primarily because of its small size, speed, and feature set.
Which algorithms are FIPS 140 3 approved?
The March 2020 version of the document approves AES (but only in certain modes), 3DES (but only in three-key mode and only up to 2^20 blocks per triple-length key), and SKIPJACK (only for legacy decryption).
Which algorithms are FIPS compliant?
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
What is the code base for wolfSSL-FIPS-ready?
(SHA256: 0afb2137d319b373a9f36047ccb9c95a61d24a5504ff5899db24adcf545aef28) wolfSSL-FIPS-READY is our FIPS specific cryptography code base which you can enable and build into your application.
What FIPS 140-2 certificates are available for the wolfCrypt module?
We currently maintain two FIPS 140-2 certificates for the wolfCrypt Cryptographic Module: #2425 and #3389.
How do I contact wolfSSL for support?
If you need the COMMERCIALLY LICENSED versions, please contact us at [email protected]. Do you need evaluation support or assistance from wolfSSL?
Why is there a FIPS boundary around the wolfCrypt algorithm?
With the FIPS boundary drawn around only the wolfCrypt cryptography algorithms, this allows users to update to newer versions of the wolfSSL SSL/TLS code and keep the same validated wolfCrypt FIPS code underneath.
