How does the automated transfer of the text / json file happen from the Mend agent to the Mend server? What protocol is used for the transfer? How is the file encrypted? How is two-way authentication achieved?

The Mend agent creates a JSON payload with the scan details and sends it to the server via our API. The API invocation is done over HTTPS (TLS 1.2). Authentication of the client is done via the API access keys (org level and user level ).
