Hello,
is there a way to implement two-way SSL authentication during SSL negotiations, to authenticate both a client and a server using client and server certificates exchanged during SSL handshake?

Great question [@Piotr Romanczyk](http://community.wowza.com/community/questions/54264/two-way-ssl-authentication.html#)- thanks for asking. Wowza does not currently offer an option for two-way authentication at this time. You would need to implement the [Wowza secure tokens](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-protect-streaming-using-securetoken-in-wowza-streaming-engine) in addition to SSL handshake to authenticate the client.

Thank you for your response. My question about 2 way SSL handshake support (where camera and Wowza both exchange and validate their SSL certificates) was to be for a camera stream push scenario (RTSP ANNOUNCE, RTMP push).
