@SachinVP Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum!

The error message indicates that the handshake between the Azure IoT Edge Eflow module and the IoT Hub failed because the certificate presented by the IoT Hub is not trusted by the Eflow module. You can see these type of errors if the certificate presented by the IoT Hub is not signed by a trusted certificate authority (CA).

I would suggest you, please check the below and see if that helps to resolve the issue.

• Make sure the device certificate or the CA certificate associated with the device isn't expired. If the device's certificate has been revoked or expired, you may need to update the device with the new certificate before it can connect to the IoT Hub again.
• If the certificate presented by the IoT Hub is not signed by a trusted CA, you can replace it with a certificate that is signed by a trusted CA.
• If you are using a self-signed certificate for the IoT Hub, you can add the root CA certificate to the trusted CA store on the Eflow module.
