  • System and method for trusted provisioning and authentication for networked devices in cloud-based IoT/M2M platforms
    Patent number: 9762392
    Abstract: Systems and methods for trusted provisioning and authentication for networked devices in a cloud-based IoT/M2M platform is disclosed. In one embodiment, a fully qualified domain name and public key is registered in a domain name server for each networked device during device configuration. A network device establishes its trustworthiness to a data collection and processing server by providing credentials to the data collection and processing server. The data collection and processing server deduces the username, the device's fully qualified domain name, and encrypted password from the credentials. The domain name server is queried for the fully qualified domain name and the public key is returned. The encrypted password is decrypted using the public key and an attempt is made to verify the password. When the password is verified, the username is provided to the data collection and processing server to authorize a network connection between the networked device and the data collection and processing server.
