Title: Secure communication over ESP8266
Post by: sairfan1 on April 21, 2017, 05:01:45 pm

Hi, I want to know can we do secure communication by ESP8266? (by secure communication i mean that information sent by ESP8266 can't be hacked or at least hard to hack).

Please also advise guide lines to take care, how can we secure communication through ESP8266.

Thanks.

Have you tried Googling for "esp8266 encryption" or "esp8266 ssl"?
These are some of the results which look promising to me:
