Encryption in Transit with TLS
Protect Redis traffic from eavesdropping by enabling TLS, configuring certificates, and connecting securely from clients.
Why Encrypt in Transit?
By default Redis speaks plaintext over the network. Anyone able to sniff the wire can read your commands, including AUTH passwords and cached data. TLS encrypts the connection so traffic stays confidential and tamper-evident.
TLS Building Blocks
TLS uses certificates:
- A server certificate proves the server's identity
- A private key the server keeps secret
- A CA certificate clients use to verify the server
