2 things to look at

  • no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
  • 4 stars4 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

Configure mutual TLS (mTLS) for zero-trust service-to-service communication. Use when implementing zero-trust networking, certificate management, or securing internal service communication.

mTLS Configuration

Comprehensive guide to implementing mutual TLS for zero-trust service mesh communication.

When to Use This Skill

  • Implementing zero-trust networking
  • Securing service-to-service communication
  • Certificate rotation and management
  • Debugging TLS handshake issues
  • Compliance requirements (PCI-DSS, HIPAA)
  • Multi-cluster secure communication

Core Concepts

1. mTLS Flow

┌─────────┐                              ┌─────────┐
│ Service │                              │ Service │
│    A    │                              │    B    │
└────┬────┘                              └────┬────┘
     │                                        │
┌────┴────┐      TLS Handshake          ┌────┴────┐
│  Proxy  │◄───────────────────────────►│  Proxy  │
│(Sidecar)│  1. ClientHello             │(Sidecar)│
│         │  2. ServerHello + Cert      │         │
│         │  3. Client Cert             │         │
│         │  4. Verify Both Certs       │         │
│         │  5. Encrypted Channel       │         │
└─────────┘                              └─────────┘

2. Certificate Hierarchy

Root CA (Self-signed, long-lived)
    │
    ├── Intermediate CA (Cluster-level)
    │       │
    │       ├── Workload Cert (Service A)
    │       └── Workload Cert (Service B)
    │
    └── Intermediate CA (Multi-cluster)
            │
            └── Cross-cluster certs

Best Practices

Do's

  • Start with PERMISSIVE - Migrate gradually to STRICT
  • Monitor certificate expiry - Set up alerts
  • Use short-lived certs - 24h or less for workloads
  • Rotate CA periodically - Plan for CA rotation
  • Log TLS errors - For debugging and audit

Don'ts

  • Don't disable mTLS - For convenience in production
  • Don't ignore cert expiry - Automate rotation
  • Don't use self-signed certs - Use proper CA hierarchy
  • Don't skip verification - Verify the full chain
