How mTLS Works: Strengthening Security Through Mutual Authentication
Mutual TLS (mTLS) takes security a step further by requiring both the client and server to authenticate each other, ensuring a trusted, encrypted communication channel. In mTLS, each side presents a certificate verified by a trusted Certificate Authority, establishing a mutual trust before data exchange. This process includes handshake steps like certificate verification and key exchange, which help create a shared secret for secure, encrypted communication.
For environments where security is critical, mTLS adds an extra layer of protection, reducing risks in sensitive exchanges.
