7.1 TLS Overview

The ATWINC15x0 features an embedded low-memory footprint TLS protocol stack bundled within the WINC firmware.

It features the following functionality:
  • Supports TLS versions TLS1.0, TLS1.1 and TLS1.2.
  • Supports TLS client operation with TLS client authentication.
  • Supports TLS Server mode.
  • A simple application interface to the TLS stack. The TLS functionality is abstracted by the ATWINC15x0 socket interface, hiding the implementation complexity from the application developer and minimizing the effort to port existing plain TCP code to TLS.
