Provisioning ESP32 devices for mutual TLS authentication

How-to video on how to use self-created CA
Made a "how-to" video on how to use self-created CA to secure Node-RED installation with mutual TLS authentication in 12 minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRCpXEj236s&feature=youtu.be #IoT #nodered #tls #mtls #security
Jupiter next to the moon

Jupiter quite visible today, just next to the moon where I live. Feels alien to see it like this..
AWS IoT pricing calculator

Checking an AWS IoT pricing calculator, running a 10K IoT fleet costs $1.8K per year. This is not insignificant. Link to the calculator: https://d1.awsstatic.com/IoT/assets/AWS_IoT_Core_Pricing_Calculator.fcc37410fa03431c28b59d8509f1b4e370c88402.xlsx
Node-RED with mutual TLS authentication

Secured my #Node-RED with mutual TLS authentication through my own CA and self-generated certificates; I have to present a client certificate in order to be allowed to use Node-RED.

Basic PKI PoC
I need a node.js guru volunteer to work with me on creating basic PKI PoC that provisions #ESP32 devices with client certificates; node-forge looks right for the purpose. I have the complete solution architecture figured, just need a node.js guru that can code it for free π Couple volunteers already, thanks @eliofilipe and @MrQinEL ;β¦
x.509 certificates to dedicated ESP32 partitions
I now load x.509 certificates to dedicated ESP32 partitions rather embedding into the code via COMPONENT_EMBED_TXTFILES; This helps decouple the code from provisioning the device with CA and client certificate+key; Still working on PKI to provision the certificates at flash time
Wallet with IDs, credit cards
Saw someone drop his wallet while entering a shop (pretty full with cash btw) and ran up to him to return it. Feels good to help, I have been in a position where I've lost wallet with IDs, credit cards and know what it means..
mTLS to secure IoT solutions

Sharing some thoughts on using mTLS (mutual TLS authentication) to secure IoT solutions in a blog post: https://harizanov.com/2019/06/using-mtls-to-secure-iot-solutions/
Using mTLS to secure IoT solutions

Notes on securing IoT devices with mutual TLS (mTLS) β what it adds over one-way SSL and how I apply it in my own projects.

MQTT certificate based mutual authentication

Implemented #MQTT certificate based mutual authentication for my home automation with access policies for publish/subscribe, much like Amazon AWS #IoT, only #DIY . It is now much more secure #esp32 #mosca Added certificate revocation list functionality. Took extra effort to make it work without MQTT broker restart. Next is profivioning API for the nodes

2.4GHz vs 433MHz range tester

Wrote a 2.4GHz vs 433MHz range tester: sending espnow 2.4GHz and RFM69 @ 433MHz from master to a slave node. 433MHz range is much better from what I can see but I am comparing apples to pears here..
