mbedtls@3
brew install mbedtls@3
v3.6.6
Apache-2.0
keg-only
Cryptographic & SSL/TLS library implementing TLS, DTLS, and X.509 certificate handling (version 3.x)
Why you might care
Lightweight alternative to OpenSSL for embedded systems and applications requiring minimal dependencies. Used as a build/runtime dependency in projects needing standards-compliant TLS without the complexity of larger crypto libraries. Supports PSA Cryptography API for portable cryptographic operations.
