Does anyone know if Embedded SSL or TLS has ever been successfully developed for 8-bit micro's? If so, where can I obtain some details? Thanks. Malan
Interesting and useful debate from both of you. Thank you. I had a quick look at both Rabbit and SiLabs C8051F120. Both have impressive specs including fast 16 x 16 multiply and high clock speeds. Difficult to pick a winner at this stage though… The point is that I think you have both helped me make up my mind that I should rather use one of the more powerful 8051 controllers than attempting SSL / TLS on a clasic 8051 core. Thank you. Malan.
Just spotted this - no idea if it's any use for embedded systems, let alone 8-bit ones... http://www.openssl.org/
I had a look at OpenSSL a while ago. It appears to have been developed for the desktop Internet environment and will probably require some fancy footwork to adapt it for a 'standard' 8-bit embedded platform. Thanks for the pointer & interest Malan
