This ensures that only approved users, machines, or endpoints are authenticated, and provides what is known as _mutual authentication_. -_Mutual-TLS_ (mTLS) certificate-based authentication relies on a _Certificate Authority_ (CA) to validate identities and issue certificates. +Mutual-TLS (mTLS) certificate-based authentication relies on a _Certificate Authority_ (CA) to validate identities and issue certificates. When using this method, no sensitive credentials are shared over the network; and all communication between application and server is performed over an _encrypted channel_, to prevent eavesdropping and impersonation.
