AI Summary

Proxylity introduces DTLS Listeners, a service designed to add TLS-style encryption and authentication to UDP applications. This allows developers to secure IoT protocols and real-time telemetry without abandoning the datagram transport model.

Why it matters

As IoT and real-time data transmission grow, providing secure, low-latency communication methods is critical for infrastructure security.

DTLS Listeners add TLS-style encryption and authentication to UDP applications without changing the datagram transport model. Clients establish a DTLS 1.2 or DTLS 1.3 session with the Listener's assigned domain and port. Proxylity decrypts authenticated application data and delivers the plaintext payload to your configured Destinations . Responses from your application are encrypted and sent back through the same DTLS session.

Choose a DTLS Listener when your application already supports DTLS or needs encrypted UDP transport while preserving datagram boundaries. Common examples include RADIUS, IoT protocols, real-time telemetry, and custom request-response protocols that cannot use a stream-oriented TLS connection.

DTLS is also the first transport layer on Proxylity's roadmap to WebRTC Data Channels . DTLS Listeners are available today for native DTLS clients; SCTP and WebRTC signaling are separate layers and are not provided by a DTLS Listener.
