Transport Layer Security (TLS)

Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a cryptographic protocol used to secure communications over computer networks, including the internet.

Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a widely used cryptographic protocol that provides secure communication over computer networks, including IoT devices and networks. TLS ensures confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of data by encrypting data in transit between two devices or endpoints. TLS is essential for securing IoT communications and requires specialized security controls and technologies such as certificate-based authentication, key exchange, and encryption algorithms. TLS is commonly used in IoT applications such as connected homes, healthcare devices, and industrial control systems to protect against cyber attacks and data breaches. Proper implementation and configuration of TLS is crucial to ensuring the security of IoT systems and networks.
