Abstract: A method for operating a system to continuously validating and authenticating a host and sensor pair involves defining a sensor-host pairing and context metadata. The system receives a plurality of sensor spatiotemporal sighting events of a sensor-host pair from a plurality of collection devices. The system records the identifier, signal strength, location and time of the sighting events as sensor spatiotemporal sighting events in a controlled memory data structure. The system collects a plurality of application events related to each sensor-host pair and stores the events in the controlled memory data structure. The system constructs a behavioral model from the sensor spatiotemporal sighting events through operation of spatiotemporal tracking logic. The system receives real time sighting events and compares it to the behavioral model to identify inconsistent behavior through operation of a behavior comparator.
