AWS IoT Core, a managed cloud service that lets customers securely connect Internet of Things (IoT) devices the cloud and manage them at scale, announces support for Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3 through Configurable Endpoints. TLS 1.3 provides two major improvements in security and performance – it removes legacy features and older cipher suites in previous versions of TLS, and offers better performance through a simplified handshake process. With this launch, AWS IoT customers can also use TLS 1.3 in AWS IoT Core Device Advisor, a fully managed test capability to help developers test their IoT devices for reliable and secure connectivity with AWS IoT Core.
