What is MBEDTLS used for?

Mbed environment looks interesting, mainly because it supports many interesting peripheral chips. I see that there is a MbedTLS option in CubeMx. What is it, how should it be used. Why should I use it. Main.c looks the same as without the Mbed. PDFs are nice but a few words are enough now.

Edit: Google tells me MbedTLS is for encryption. Not much use for me, I think.

TLS is the new SSH. It may be used alone, or as transport layer of other protocols built upon it, most prominently HTTPS.

Not the new SSH, but the new SSL. If we can call a name from year 1999 a new... :)

Mbed - a software platform and operating system (in a broader sense, not only kernel) from ARM.

Mbed TLS - cryptographic library, one of the Mbed platform components.
