CERTIFICATES & SECURE COMMUNICATION
Certificates are a main component in secure communication. They are used to identify the owner of the certificate. A node will trust a certificate if it trusts the Certificate Authority (CA) that has issued the certificate. Trusted certificates are used to ensure secure communication.
Which certificates to use, depend on the installation. HMS Networks offers a tool that generates device and CA certificates, to be used during development.
