🔐 The Certificate might seem like proof of identity, but there’s more beneath the surface.
🔑 The Private Key is the cornerstone of this trust; it must remain confidential as it corresponds to the Public Key embedded in the Certificate.

This setup is critical for ensuring secure, authenticated communication and maintaining trust in the distributed IoT ecosystem.
