wolfSSL is up and running and tested on Apple’s new M1 chip, and with the right options it is blazing fast! We have decided to benchmark our wolfCrypt/wolfSSL libraries on the Apple M1, to show you just how well the the M1 will perform in our standard cryptographic benchmarks.

See below for more details!
