+Authentication with certificates
+=================================
+
+Following on from the previous scenario where traffic to the server is managed
via a username and password,
+HTTPS (more specifically TLS) communication allows an additional layer of
security by encrypting messages
+between the client and server. This is achieved using certificates. During
development, the easiest
+approach is developing with self-signed certificates. At startup, the server
loads the public and private
+key and the client client authenticates itself to the server with a public key.
Review Comment:
My understanding is the client still needs the TLS root certificate to
authenticate the communication, I've changed it to make it more clear that what
I'm loading in is for the TLS root cert
