What is mTLS?

mTLS (Mutual TLS) is a method of authentication where both the client and server verify each other's identity before establishing a secure connection. It's commonly used to enhance security in microservices architectures, IoT devices, and other applications where strong authentication is required. Unlike standard TLS, where only the server is authenticated, mTLS ensures that both parties are who they claim to be, preventing unauthorized access and man-in-the-middle attacks.
