Experimenting with TLS specifically for Mosquitto and Kafka

TLS Experiments

The code in this repo will setup TLS encryption not mTLS (mutual authentication)

To test the MQTT broker you can use MQTT.fx

To test Kafka you can use Conduktor

To use TLS with the MQTT broker the broker needs a root CA and a certificate and key. The client then needs to have access to the same root CA.

To use TLS with Kafka, the broker needs to have the root CA stored in its truststore. Furthermore, it needs both the root CA and its own (signed) cert stored in its keystore.

The broker then also needs the trust- and keystore passwords.

The client needs to have the root CA stored in its truststore including the password to the store.
