Hi Gopi,

If you know what you are doing and absolutely sure that your application doesn’t need encryption, you can try using the “MBEDTLS_CIPHER_NULL_CIPHER“ option for enabling ciphersuites without encryption:

Subject: [mbed-tls] TLS Only for Data Authentication

Hi,

I am developing TLS client and server for embedded systems. Considering the operational efficiency, it is sufficient to have data authentication. Is it possible to setup a TLS communication with data authentication and without encryption?

Consider a PLC network,

Within physical secure zone.
Requires faster data transfer.
Data are not confidential, but must be cryptographically authenticated.

Thanks,
