Rendezvous

Note

TrustEdge agent communicates with Device Rendezvous Zones over MQTT 5.0, primarily using port 8883 for secure, encrypted communication. Port 1883 is also available as an unencrypted option for specific configurations where encryption is not required.

Device rendezvous zones

Each Device Rendezvous Zone (DRZ) contains the following components to provide secure and efficient communication:

Table 1. Components of a device rendezvous zone

DRZ component	Description
MQTT broker cluster	Acts as a messaging hub, managing message routing, storage, forwarding, Quality of Service (QoS), and security. The broker cluster facilitates communication between devices and Device Trust Manager through topic-based messaging.
Rendezvous service	Serves as an intermediary for device communication with Device Trust Manager. Core functions include: Authenticates devices using their bootstrap credential, enabling access control for active sessions. Provides device-related data caching to streamline communication. Provides synchronous and event-driven interfaces for backend services to send commands to devices in real-time.
