What is mTLS?
mTLS is also known as mutual TLS, after the ubiquitous security protocol. It is used in environments where machine-to-machine trust really matters.
Where in general is mTLS used? Where specifically is mTLS used? Did someone say "Kubernetes service mesh"? I think so!
It's not generally used for public websites, but inside serious enterprise systems, it's a standard way to guarantee only authenticated services speak to each other.
Examples in modern infrastructure include: Kubernetes service meshes (Istio, Linkerd), API gateways, internal microservices, banking and trading and zero-trust networks.
Is mTLS a standard?
It's a section in TLS standard.
