Espressif's ESP32-S2, ESP32-S3 and ESP32-C3 MCU have a built-in Digital Signature (DS) Peripheral, which provides hardware acceleration for RSA signature. More details can be found at [Digital Signature with ESP-TLS](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32s2/api-reference/protocols/esp_tls.html#digital-signature-with-esp-tls).
This example connects to the broker test.mosquitto.org using ssl transport with client certificate(RSA) and as a demonstration subscribes/unsubscribes and sends a message on certain topic.The RSA signature operation required in the ssl connection is performed with help of the Digital Signature (DS) peripheral.
(Please note that the public broker is maintained by the community so may not be always available, for details please visit http://test.mosquitto.org)
It uses ESP-MQTT library which implements mqtt client to connect to mqtt broker.
This example can be executed on any ESP32-S2, ESP32-S3, ESP32-C3 board (which has a built-in DS peripheral), the only required interface is WiFi and connection to internet.

#### 2) Generate your client key and certificate
Navigate to the main directory
```
cd main
```
Generate a client key and a CSR. When you are generating the CSR, do not use the default values. At a minimum, the CSR must include the Country, Organisation and Common Name fields.
Paste the generated CSR in the [Mosquitto test certificate signer](https://test.mosquitto.org/ssl/index.php), click Submit and downloaded the `client.crt`. This `client.crt` file shall be used as the device certificate.
* i) Install the [esp_secure_cert configuration utility](https://github.com/espressif/esp_secure_cert_mgr/tree/main/tools#esp_secure_cert-configuration-tool) with following command:
This command shall generate a partition named `esp_secure_cert.bin` in the `esp_secure_cert_data` directory. This partition would be aumatically detected by the build system and flashed at appropriate offset when `idf.py flash` command is used. For this process, the command must be executed in the current folder only.
[check serial port](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32/get-started/establish-serial-connection.html#check-port-on-windows) for more details.
RSA private key is nothing but the client private key ( RSA ) generated in Step 2.
* Open the project configuration menu (`idf.py menuconfig`)
* Configure Wi-Fi or Ethernet under "Example Connection Configuration" menu. See "Establishing Wi-Fi or Ethernet Connection" section in [examples/protocols/README.md](../../README.md) for more details.
### Build and Flash
Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output:
```
idf.py -p PORT flash monitor
```
(To exit the serial monitor, type ``Ctrl-]``.)
See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.
