I think MbedTLS requires a memory allocator, which if true then BearSSL seems quite attractive. At least for simple scenarios. The advantage of MbedTLS is that it's starting to have more support for hardware accelerators.

You can try it out on the main website https://c2rust.com where they have a web version. Unfortunately it isn't working (HTTP 503 error)

The headline is obvious bait. Europe doesn’t have a plan. Europe isn’t even a country. This is just an interview with the founder of Skype.

Aside from password rotation being a very questionable practice, it actually can cause productivity loss. In a big organisation like mine it can take up to 48 hours for a password change to synchronise across all the internal services. Ther

For long and complex documentation with a lot of tables, standard Markdown just isn't good enough. ReStructured Text was very capable and we used it a lot for PDF manuals and specs. It seems like not many people know about it. I'm

Have to say that Ubuntu LTS with the Firefox web browser drastically reduced the number of support calls I'd get from my parents, who used Windows 7 before. Of course, as soon as you start messing with packages or doing more advanced t

Unless you're using a smart card or secure element, then your CPU is wide open to FI attacks. You can mitigate some types of FI attacks using software modifications, but doing so at the source level makes the codebase horrendous. Hardw

Makes me think of “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler” by Einstein. There’s a limit to how much complexity a good design can hide. Complex software that come to mine are package managers, disk partitioners, sec
