Why Do Some SSL/TLS Libraries Lack Support for Crypto Modules/Tokens?

I was reviewing cURL's sheet comparing TLS libraries (https://curl.se/docs/ssl-compared.html). I was surprised when I found only two supporting crypto modules/tokens following the PKCS #11 standard. Why are there so few TLS libraries supporting crypto modules/tokens operating under the PKCS #11 standard?

Would this key agreement protocol work if written properly in C?

Pros and Cons of Embedded TLS Libraries (e.g. WolfSSL, MbedTLS, BearSSL)

I recently noticed that TLS libraries exist that are specialized for embedded devices. Such libraries exist since other more popular TLS libraries (e.g. OpenSSL) have too large a footprint to be suitable for use in embedded devices that have low system resources. I was wondering if anyone here has first-hand …

The Importance of Releasing Cryptographic Software to the Public

Today we live in a world where businesses still use closed-source cryptographic software--which is a violation of that principle. I am certain everyone here agrees this is not best. However, I also noticed that although there are certain source-available commercial cryptographic libraries they allow businesses to integrate their code into …

Bulletproofs Inner Product Argument & Range Proofs in Monero using Bulletproofs

I have a written a blog post on the Bulletproofs Inner Product Argument & how it's used in Monero for Range Proofs https://risencrypto.github.io/Bulletproofs/ I am posting it here for feedback, so do let me know if you find any mistakes or if something isn't clear or if you have any …

Request for good resources discussing the meta-problems of using time in cryptographic protocol engineering

**tl;dr Are there any good papers, books, discussions online that focus on the meta-problems of the use of time as a primitive in cryptographic protocols and various options protocol engineers use to mitigate them?** Recently I've been reviewing some cryptographic protocols that heavily rely on time and time windows in …
