+# Asio SSL client/server example
+
+Simple Asio client and server with SSL/TLS transport
+
+## How to Use Example
+
+### Hardware Required
+
+This example can be executed on any ESP platform board. No external connection is required, it is recommended though
+to connect to internet or a local network via WiFi or Ethernet to easily exercise features of this example.
+
+### Configure the project
+
+* 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.
+* Enable the ASIO client and set server's host name to examine client's functionality. 
+The ASIO client connects to the configured server and sends default payload string "GET / HTTP/1.1" 
+* Enable the ASIO server to examine server's functionality. The ASIO server listens to connection and echos back what was received.
+
+### 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.
+
+## Example Output
+
+### Client connecting to public server
+
+The below output illustrates the client connecting to a public https server.
+
+```

+```
+### Both server and client enabled
+
+The below output demonstrates the client connecting to the ASIO server via loopback interface, so no WiFi, nor Ethernet connection
+was established. 
+```
