🔒 Secure HTTPS Client with mTLS 🌐

HTTPS client implementation in C using mutual TLS (mTLS) authentication.

🔧 How It Works

  1. 🌱 Initializes the TLS context and seeds the random number generator
  2. 📜 Loads and parses certificates and private keys
  3. 🔌 Sets up the network connection and configures SSL settings
  4. 🤝 Performs the SSL/TLS handshake
  5. 📤 Sends an HTTP GET request to the server
  6. 📥 Receives and displays the server's response
  7. 🧹 Cleans up and frees resources

🚦 Getting Started

To build and run this project:

  1. Ensure you have CMake and a C compiler installed
  2. Clone this repository
  3. Navigate to the project directory
  4. Install mbedTLS
  5. Run the following commands:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
./https-mtls

🔒 Security Note

This project demonstrates the use of mTLS for secure communication. In a real-world scenario, you should never hardcode certificates and private keys in your source code. Instead, use secure methods to store and retrieve these sensitive credentials.
