In an IoT fleet management context, what is the benefit of using "mutual TLS" (mTLS) for device-to-cloud communication, beyond standard TLS?
Correct! Well done.
Incorrect.
The correct answer is A) mTLS requires both the device and the server to present and verify certificates, providing strong device authentication in addition to encrypted communication, helping prevent unauthorized devices from connecting
Correct Answer
mTLS requires both the device and the server to present and verify certificates, providing strong device authentication in addition to encrypted communication, helping prevent unauthorized devices from connecting
Standard TLS typically authenticates only the server to the client; mTLS adds client certificate verification, so the server can cryptographically confirm the identity of each connecting device — important for ensuring only legitimate devices in a fleet can communicate.
