+# ST Ports
+
+Support for the STM32 L4, F1, F2, F4 and F7 on-board crypto hardware acceleration for symmetric AES (ECB/CBC/CTR/GCM) and MD5/SHA1/SHA224/SHA256.
+
+Support for the STSAFE-A100 crypto hardware accelerator co-processor via I2C for ECC supporting NIST or Brainpool 256-bit and 384-bit curves. It requires the ST-Safe SDK including wolf stsafe_interface.c/.h files. Please contact ST for these.
+
+
+For details see our [wolfSSL ST](https://www.wolfssl.com/docs/stm32/) page.
+
+
+## STM32 Symmetric Acceleration
+
+We support using the STM32 CubeMX and Standard Peripheral Library.
+
+### Building
+
+To enable support define one of the following:
+
+```
+#define WOLFSSL_STM32L4
+#define WOLFSSL_STM32F1
+#define WOLFSSL_STM32F2
+#define WOLFSSL_STM32F4
+#define WOLFSSL_STM32F7
+```
+
+To use CubeMX define `WOLFSSL_STM32_CUBEMX` otherwise StdPeriLib is used.
+
+To disable portions of the hardware acceleration you can optionally define:
+
+```
+#define NO_STM32_RNG
+#define NO_STM32_CRYPTO
+#define NO_STM32_HASH
+```
+
+### Coding
+
+In your application you must include <wolfssl/wolfcrypt/settings.h> before any other wolfSSL headers. If building the sources directly we recommend defining `WOLFSSL_USER_SETTINGS` and adding your own `user_settings.h` file. You can find a good reference for this in `IDE/GCC-ARM/Header/user_settings.h`.
+
+
+### Benchmarks
+
+See our [benchmarks](https://www.wolfssl.com/docs/benchmarks/) on the wolfSSL website.
+
+
+
+## STSAFE-A100 ECC Acceleration
+
+Using the wolfSSL PK callbacks and the reference ST Safe reference API's we support an ECC only cipher suite such as ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA256 for TLS client or server.
+
+At the wolfCrypt level we also support ECC native API's for `wc_ecc_*` using the ST-Safe.
+
+### Building
+
+`./configure --enable-pkcallbacks CFLAGS="-DWOLFSSL_STSAFEA100"`
+
+or
+
+`#define HAVE_PK_CALLBACKS`
+`#define WOLFSSL_STSAFEA100`
+
+
+### Coding
+
+Setup the PK callbacks for TLS using:
+
+```
+/* Setup PK Callbacks for STSAFE-A100 */
+WOLFSSL_CTX* ctx;
+wolfSSL_CTX_SetEccKeyGenCb(ctx, SSL_STSAFE_CreateKeyCb);
+wolfSSL_CTX_SetEccSignCb(ctx, SSL_STSAFE_SignCertificateCb);
+wolfSSL_CTX_SetEccVerifyCb(ctx, SSL_STSAFE_VerifyPeerCertCb);
+wolfSSL_CTX_SetEccSharedSecretCb(ctx, SSL_STSAFE_SharedSecretCb);
+wolfSSL_CTX_SetDevId(ctx, 0); /* enables wolfCrypt `wc_ecc_*` ST-Safe use */
+```
+
+The reference STSAFE-A100 PK callback functions are located in the `wolfcrypt/src/port/st/stsafe.c` file.
+
+Adding a custom context to the callbacks:
+
+```
+/* Setup PK Callbacks context */
+WOLFSSL* ssl;
+void* myOwnCtx;
+wolfSSL_SetEccKeyGenCtx(ssl, myOwnCtx);
+wolfSSL_SetEccVerifyCtx(ssl, myOwnCtx);
+wolfSSL_SetEccSignCtx(ssl, myOwnCtx);
+wolfSSL_SetEccSharedSecretCtx(ssl, myOwnCtx);
+```
