## wolfSSL Embedded SSL/TLS Library
### 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.

User benchmarking and feedback reports dramatically better performance when using wolfSSL over OpenSSL. wolfSSL is a more tested and secure alternative to OpenSSL.
### 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.
