What is mutual TLS (mTLS), and why is it important in microservices security? Mutual TLS (mTLS) is an authentication protocol where both the client and server
uthenticate each other using TLS certificates.
How it works:
- Server Authentication: The client verifies that it is communicating with the legitimate
server by checking the server's certificate.
- Client Authentication: The server also verifies that the client is legitimate by
checking the client's certificate.
