In many edge locations there is separation, routing, and proxying in place to communicate from user endpoints. Placing a new system inside these environments can be challenging as it might affect proxy and firewall routing. By using a port 443 reverse proxy on the end nodes, it allows secure HTTPS communication on one side and in many cases already available means for IT clients to communicate to the outside world. All services in the NativeEdge environment use mutual transport layer security (mTLS) communication to mutually authenticate each entity in the environment. This assures that each service has to be granted access as part of the PKI environment. To further enhance the security of this communication, NativeEdge includes mutual TLS as a means of communicating between all services inside the environment. mTLS ensures that the parties at each end are who they claim to be by verifying that they both have the correct private key. The information within their respective TLS certificates provides additional verification.
