Adding SSL/TLS Support to the ESP8266

In this post we will introduce some new features about securing the Internet of Things, like in our previous post, Securing the Internet of Things, where we introduced SSL/TLS support for the Arduino MKR1000. In this case we are working with the well-known ESP8266, and YES! it supports also secure TLS connections to our Internet of Things platform.

Nowadays we are introducing Internet of Things devices in our homes, cars, factories, homebrew equipment, and many other facilities. While some of them are not really critical environments, having unsecure IoT devices surrounding our lives can condition our physical security and privacy. It is easy today to take an Arduino or a similar device, like
