Hello,
I read on this forum that we need to download certificate on the RC7620 module to be able to establish an HTTPS connection with a server. This means that when the certificate expired , we need to reload the new certificate?
it is not practical for IOT device.
Best regards,
Jeff,
This is correct, you can prepare FTP server or HTTP server for downloading the new cert.
Thanks for your Answer.
We had implemented HTTPS on HL 8548 without the need of downloading certificate.
Do you know why we need to do it on RC7620?
Best regards,
Jeff,
This is a network security concern, the goal is to defend man-in-the-middle attacks.
Sorry to bump an old topic but I’ve been struggling with HTTPS and came across this. I understand by enforcing the certificate the HTTPS connection is more secure but surely using FTP of HTTP to get the certificate is not. Is this really best practice still?
If you don’t want to use FTP of HTTP to get the certification, you can use HTTPS.
But of course doing this before the certificate expires.
