mTLS
Mutual TLS
Definition
mTLS extends standard TLS by requiring both the client and server to present and validate certificates, providing two-way authentication. In microservice architectures, mTLS ensures that only authorized services communicate with each other, preventing lateral movement by compromised workloads.
Service meshes like Istio and Linkerd automate mTLS certificate issuance and rotation transparently.
