**Good evening, sorry I am still a new Ignition user. I plan to display the project I created from the designer launcher to a smartphone. Does it require SSL/TLS?**

SSL is **highly recommended** if you plan route the traffic over the internet. (I would say **required** , but it is not enforced by the platform.)

But more importantly, what UI technology did you choose? If Vision, then SSL doesn't matter, as you cannot put Vision on a mobile device.

If Perspective, install the Perspective app from your phone's app store and point it at your gateway.

I am trying to access my project that is on my computer from the Ignition Perspective app on my smartphone. Is it necessary to add a CA-signed Security Certificate?

It is highly recommended if you are connecting through the public internet. But many of my clients use private Certificate Authorities, and add them to the device.
