WolfSSL (Rust)
This repository attempts to build safe and idiomatic abstractions for the WolfSSL Embedded SSL/TLS Library (C).
There are two parts to this:
- The
wolfssl-sys
crate auto-generates unsafe Rust bindings through bindgen, to C functions provided by the WolfSSL library. - The
wolfssl
crate then build safe and idiomatic abstractions on top of the unsafe layer.
Why WolfSSL?
At ExpressVPN we love WolfSSL. It's fast, secure, easy to use and of course it's Open Source. That's why when we were looking at TLS libraries to use as the core of Lightway, WolfSSL was a clear winner. Now that we're doing more research with Rust, it's only natural that we'd want to keep using WolfSSL, but alas, there weren't any Rust bindings available.
So we built one :)
Building and Running
After cloning this repo, you'll also need to clone the submodules for the WolfSSL source code via:
git submodule update --init
Currently, the usual commands from cargo
works perfectly fine. Common commands
include the following:
cargo build
cargo test
cargo clippy
Building with Earthly
There is also an Earthfile
provided. For example, here's how you can build the crate in Earthly:
earthly +build-crate
For more information about the different Earthly targets available, run:

Speeding up development with Earthly Satellites
Please refer to official documentation for Earthly Satellites.
If you are a member of ExpressVPN, you can get access to the same Earthly organization used in our CI. The organization is named expressvpn
, inside which contains a satellite named wolfssl-rs
.
If you are not a member of ExpressVPN, you may set up your own Earthly satellite according the official instructions above.
