## Add the authentication files

This example setup uses TLS to authenticate the request to Confluent Cloud. There are multiple methods to authenticate, so you should follow your company best practices and authentication methods. TLS/SSL requires you to create keys and certificates, create your own Certificate Authority (CA), and sign the certificate. Doing this should leave you with 3 files which need to be added to this directory. They are referenced in this example as the follwing files: `key.pem`, `cert.pem`, `ca.pem`.

For more information about TLS authentication with Confluent Cloud, check the [documentation on authenticating with TLS](https://docs.confluent.io/platform/current/kafka/authentication_ssl.html) as well as the [security tutorial](https://docs.confluent.io/platform/current/security/security_tutorial.html).

For dev/test Confluent environments, you can simplify this by using plain text authentication.
