Understanding the role of X.509 Certificates is crucial to designing and implementing secure IoT solutions.

After completing this training, you will know how the AWS IoT Core service uses X.509 Certificates to establish trust in distributed IoT systems.

You will uncover how the Private and Public Keys relate to the corresponding X.509 Certificate and how to verify the certificate chain to confirm the trust propagation.

I will show how to confirm the identity of the AWS IoT Core endpoint and avoid the main-in-the-middle attack.

No AWS or cryptography knowledge is required to benefit from this training, as I will guide you through every step of this journey.
