While this is a very cool chip for hobbyists, it is quite hard to do real TLS with this chip making it basically useless for commercial applications.

It CAN do TLS but it leaves very little left over if you have any kind of real business logic.

TLS is one of the reasons I'm really hopeful for the ESP32 that's supposed to have a good bit of hardware help for doing TLS and such. http://esp32.net/

If you're looking for improved TLS support, have a peek at esp-open-rtos[1], which is a re-implementation of the Espressif provided rtos sdk and is aiming to be fully open source. It ships with the mbed TLS implementation, which supports TLS 1.2.

Assuming you're talking to your own server (or even mobile app), why not go with something lighter than full TLS?
