WICED Studio Wi-Fi Combo

Hi All,

What should I do if I would like use TLS without server authentication ?

Should I just build without a root certificate?

In the TLS Security related API, authentication is done explicitly,
so should I give up that API function?

Hello,

The SSL handshake requires a rootca certificate to authenticate the server's identity. Do you want to use the secure communication between the client and server or a non secure one?

I came across this blog post for SSL handshake. The SSL/TLS Handshake: an Overview - SSL.com​

Can you please point out the steps you are referring to?

Dear PriyaM_16,

Thank you for your reply.

>Do you want to use the secure communication between the client and server or a non secure one?

I hope to use a non secure communication.

>Can you please point out the steps you are referring to?

I checked the URL "The SSL/TLS Handshake: an Overview - SSL.com" .

In the second step

"The server responds:"Hey there! Let's ....... .......

..................... Now here's my certificate, including my public key."

I don't use certificate and hope to use the like SSL handshake.

In this case, Could you tell me how to set up the WICED ?

Best Regards,

Sakagami

Hi Sakagami

Since you want to use non secure communication, you don't need to use any certificates.

Could you try referring the apsta example available at /43xxx_Wi-Fi/apps/snip/apsta.

This example hosts a http server and allows clients to connect to it without the need of any certificates.

Thanks

Dear MuraliR_36,
Thank you for your reply and
sorry for late response.

With my poor English and poor understanding of SSL / TLS,
It looks like we have been going the wrong way. Once, close this thread and open a new one.
Thank you for your supports.

[What I want to do]
    I am planning to make a client to connect to the https server with WiCED.
    Then I hope to disable the server certificate validation check.
