Abstract: The Internet can be configured to provide communications to a large number of Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices. Devices can be designed to address the need for network layers, from central servers, through gateways, down to edge devices, to grow unhindered, to discover and make accessible connected resources, and to support the ability to hide and compartmentalize connected resources. Network protocols can be part of the fabric supporting human accessible services that operate regardless of location, time, or space. Innovations can include service delivery and associated infrastructure, such as hardware and software. Services may be provided in accordance with specified Quality of Service (QoS) terms. The use of IoT devices and networks can be included in a heterogeneous network of connectivity including wired and wireless technologies.

Abstract: A trusted communications environment includes a primary participant with a group creator and a distributed ledger, and a secondary participant with communication credentials. An Internet of Things (IoT) network includes a trusted execution environment with a chain history for a blockchain, a root-of-trust for chaining, and a root-of-trust for archives. An IoT network includes an IoT device with a communication system, an onboarding tool, a device discoverer, a trust builder, a shared domain creator, and a shared resource directory. An IoT network includes an IoT device with a communication system, a policy decision engine, a policy repository, a policy enforcement engine, and a peer monitor. An IoT network includes an IoT device with a host environment and a trusted reliability engine to apply a failover action if the host environment fails. An IoT network includes an IoT server including secure booter/measurer, trust anchor, authenticator, key manager, and key generator.
