Hi,

I stumbled across this thread in search of answers to my own question regarding the combination of nginx + DTLS. Since you didn't receive an answer to your question, Vladimir, here's a use case I am currently working on: I have an IoT use case using CoAP for client-server-communication. CoAP in turn uses DTLS for securing its data. All server applications are working behind an nginx web server. Right now for the DTLS communication nginx is justed proxiing the udp packets from the client to the server. When using a PKI instead of a, let's say PSK ciphersuite, I too would think that it would be be helpful to centralize all TLS specifics e.g. certificate management within the nginx web server. You should then be able to pass the unencrypted datagrams to the CoAP server.

Regards,
Sebastian
