Securing Cloud Services with TLS X.509 Client Certificates

Learn how to secure internet servers using X.509 client certificates in this hands-on video tutorial. Explore the process of deploying X.509 client certificates and understand how Certificate Signing Requests (CSRs) work. Set up a NodeJS server that requires authentication with an X.509 client certificate, sandbox a CSR using XCA, and discover OpenXPKI for automating TLS and certificate generation processes. Gain insights into key management and see a blueprint for securely integrating hosted MQTT into home automation software. Follow along with practical demonstrations, including generating client certificates, assessing security measures, and implementing certificate signing requests. Conclude with an overview of OpenXPKI and a practical example of securing MQTT for home automation applications.
