Secure Cloud & Web Servers with TLS X.509 Certificates

How to secure Internet Servers with X.509 Client Certificates? How to deploy X.509 Client Certificates ? How does a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) work ? In this hands-on video we will run a little nodejs Server that requests Authentication with an X.509 Client Certificate, we will Sandbox a CSR with XCA and we will have a look at OpenXPKI which is a great Software to automate processes around TLS and Certificate Generation, Key Management and the like. Last but not least I show a Blueprint on how to securely link a hosted MQTT into your home automation Software.

The XCA Tool can be obtained here: https://hohnstaedt.de/xca/
