Service meshes offer the ability to enforce network traffic encryption (mTLS) and authentication between all services. The _service mesh_ can automatically generate an SSL certificate for each service and its instances.
The certificate authenticates with other services inside the mesh and encrypts the TCP/UDP/gRPC connection with SSL.
<!-- As mentioned earlier, the _service mesh_ is aware of all services and their respective state and can require authentication between all service to service communication. -->
Fine-grained policies that dictate what services are allowed to communicate with each other is another benefit of a _service mesh_.
