EonKube uses self-signed certificates by default to secure communications between systems. Self-signed certificates are automatically generated and updated by the cert-management tool, and it will be renewed every three months.

However, the self-signed certificates are not authenticated by a third-party organization. To enhance the security, IEC supports the following ways of managing the certificate and here is the comparison between these methods:
