CoAPs

Devices can used secure CoAPs connections to the backend. To use CoAPs a Certificate signed by Lobaro is required.

The setup consists of the following steps:

1. Create a Certificate Signing Request (CSR)
2. Request a Certificate from Lobaro
3. Install the signed Certificate in the Platform
