  • Secure method for configuring internet of things (IOT) devices through wireless technologies
    Patent number: 10904758
    Abstract: A method to configure a new IoT device using a smartphone with the IoT device configuration application/service installed. Once the user has added the configuration preferences after successful login to his account on the cloud service using secure communication channel (such as TLS), the user can scan the QR code printed on the device/paper shipped together with the device. After the QR code is scanned, the mobile application decodes the data contained in the QR code, verifies the digital signature, and automatically enables a Wi-Fi hotspot on the smartphone, based on the information retrieved from the QR code. Then, the mobile application informs the user to switch on the IoT device. Once the IoT device is turned on and boots completely, it connects to the hotspot on the smartphone using the default Wi-Fi SSID and PSK saved in its memory (the same as on the QR code).
