mbedTLS Integration

Overview

Use this skill to integrate mbedTLS on embedded targets by proving entropy/RNG, time, certificate storage, transport I/O, and memory configuration before debugging application protocols. TLS failures often come from platform hooks rather than cryptography logic.

When To Use

Use this skill when:

• The user wants TLS, HTTPS, MQTT over TLS, DTLS, X.509, crypto, or secure boot-related primitives using mbedTLS.
• The issue involves handshake failure, certificate validation, entropy source, RNG, memory allocation, time validity, or socket callbacks.
• The target is resource-constrained or has hardware crypto/TRNG.

Do not use this skill for generic networking before TCP/IP works. Use lwip-integration first when connectivity is unproven. For lightweight ECC-only operations, use micro-ecc-integration or tinycrypt-integration.
