Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a technique for establishing data security over an Internet of Things (IoT) network. According to an embodiment, a method includes performing by at least one host entity implemented in a network, tracking distribution of data in the network by maintaining a data location file that includes plurality of parameters of each of plurality of data subsets. The data subsets are distributed in plurality of devices of the network such as key servers, host entities and client entities. The data subsets include any or a combination of an encryption key, a key identifier, a header, an authorization information, a decryption key, a control message, a computer program, a config file, data generated by any client entity of the one or more client entities, and data processed by any host entity of the one or more host entities.

Abstract: A method includes performing by at least one host entity implemented in a network, receiving an encryption key generated by a key server and a key identifier associated with said encryption key, generating a header comprising an information identifier associated with an information to be protected, the device identifier corresponding to the key server and the key identifier associated with the encryption key, encrypting said information using said encryption key and associating the header with the encrypted information, transmitting said encrypted information and the associated header to a receiving entity and transmitting an authorization information, said key identifier, and said header to the key server. Further, in response to determination that the receiving entity is authorized to access the encrypted information, the receiving entity decrypts the encrypted information using decryption key received from the key server.
