Secure data transfers

- [Instructor] Securing data transfers has been a demanding feature for modern IoT applications. A secure data transfer can happen between any IoT entities, such as between an IoT device and a remote server at Edge or Cloud, or just between the IoT devices. If we are going to send any application data securely through the Internet, we'll need an end-to-end secure logical connection for application data transfers. In this example, any messages from a sender will be encrypted in a separate text without being eavesdropped or tampered by any attackers. The receiver will be able to (mumbles) the cyber attacks later, this can be done through the transport layer security which is responsible for securing the end to end logical connection. The fundamental technology of making that happen is the use of TLS, using the TLS can also bring other security benefits in addition to the confidentiality brought to data transfers, such as data integrity, but let's see how the confidentiality is achieved…
