About:
Mbed TLS (formerly PolarSSL) is an open source cryptographic library written in C. It provides an easy-to-learn and integrate set of cryptographic primitives, TLS/SSL protocols, and X.509 certificate support. It is designed for embedded systems and applications requiring secure communication.
Key Features:
  • Implements SSL/TLS protocols up to 1.3 and DTLS
  • Provides AES, SHA, RSA, ECC, and other cryptographic primitives
  • Lightweight footprint suitable for embedded devices
  • Apache 2.0 license allows free commercial use
Use Cases:
  • Securing IoT device communications
  • Implementing client/server encryption in C applications
  • Adding SSL/TLS support to custom network stacks
Alternatives:
  • OpenSSL – More ubiquitous but larger and with a more complex license
  • LibreSSL – OpenSSL fork focused on code clarity and security
