Mutual TLS authentication (mTLS) in Swift.

Mutual TLS Authentication(mTLS) - Swift

This demo demonstrates how to implement mutual TLS authentication (mTLS) in Swift. mTLS is a security mechanism that allows both the client and server to authenticate each other using their own digital certificates. This is in contrast to traditional TLS, where only the server authenticates itself to the client.

Instructions

1. Create a PKCS12 file containing your client certificate and key.
2. Add the PKCS12 file to your project.
3. Update the certificateFileName and password variables in the AppDelegate class to match your PKCS12 file.
4. Run the app.

Example Usage

To perform a request using the manually configured TLS session, simply use the URLSessionMTLS.shared object:

let session = URLSessionMTLS.shared

// Create a request to the server
let request = URLRequest(url: URL(string: "https://example.com/api")!)

// Send the request
session.dataTask(with: request) { data, response, error in
  // Handle the response
}.resume()

Note: You must add a .p12 certificate file to your project and update the certificateFileName and password variables in the AppDelegate class before running the app.
