Application note
Transport layer security protocol for SPWFxxx module
Introduction
The purpose of this document is to present a demonstration package for creating a secure
connection over TCP/IP between the Wi-Fi module SPWF01Sxxx (see [1] in
References)and a remote server exposing secured service.
Security is provided by the secure sockets layer (SSL) and transport layer security (TLS)
protocols. The SSL/TLS protocols provide security for communication over networks, such
as the Internet, and allow client and server applications to communicate in a way that is
confidential and secure.
The document includes a brief introduction to SSL/TLS principles, a description of the
demonstration package organization and a tutorial with client-server connection examples.
