The SimpleLink Wi-Fi CC3x20 devices include embedded, standard-compliant, secure transport layer (TLS/SSL) stacks, which are network protocols that involve cryptographic paradigms designed to provide communications security over a TCP/IP connection. Using secure sockets can help protect information sent to peers through the Internet. Embedding the TLS/SSL stacks in the device helps simplify the code needed to create secure socket connections and helps keep the MCU memory free for the user application. The TIDC-01005 uses secure socket connections during AP provisioning (HTTPS server), when communicating with the Eclipse IoT broker to monitor and control the lock (MQTT client over TLS), and while performing OTA software updates through Dropbox (HTTPS client).
