About:
AWS-LC is a general-purpose cryptographic library that provides implementations of cryptographic algorithms optimized for performance and security. It is a fork of BoringSSL with additional patches and improvements tailored for AWS services and customer needs. The library focuses on constant-time implementations to prevent side-channel attacks and provides FIPS certification support.
Key Features:
  • FIPS 203/204 certified cryptographic module
  • Optimized performance with platform-specific assembly code
  • Constant-time implementations to prevent side-channel attacks
  • API compatibility with OpenSSL
  • Automated testing and continuous integration for security
Use Cases:
  • Building secure applications requiring FIPS-validated cryptography
  • Developing high-performance cryptographic services for cloud infrastructure
  • Creating applications that need OpenSSL compatibility with enhanced security
Alternatives:
  • BoringSSL – AWS-LC is a fork of BoringSSL with additional AWS-specific patches and FIPS certification support
  • OpenSSL – AWS-LC provides similar APIs but with more focused security hardening and performance optimizations
  • LibreSSL – Focuses on code cleanup and security, while AWS-LC emphasizes performance and FIPS compliance
