The best ways to transfer data secure and fast.

28 Sep 2017

Hello,

So I have been developing and testing with LoRa for a while now, I'm using the hardware from multitech. I'm using a node-red application to handle the data from the xdots. For now I'm using a http request to send the data from my gateway to a web address, this web address converts the data into a MySQL database, with another web application I can monitoring all data from my database. The security is as following: I use a basic HTTP authentication that uses an username and password, those are generated keys which are defined in my php code. When the request passed the first authentication it also requires a key in the GET headers that must match a key inside my database, if not then the request will be terminated.

I would like to know if this method is secure enough, and what other methods there are. Also is a http request a good solution or not?
