Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to method and system for secure IoT device onboarding using a blockchain network. Internet of Things (IoT) device onboarding is a challenging problem as it needs to be securely connected to its actual final owner, with minimal manual intervention. Onboarding provides provisioning the IoT devices with credentials for accessing a network resource and assigning appropriate permissions. The present disclosure establishes a mutual authentication between at least one IoT device from the one or more IoT devices and a TIMS. Further, based on the verified authentication the TIMS enables the device to identify its current owner using a blockchain network. Further, the IoT device authenticating parameter is computed for authentication of the TIMS with at least one IoT device from the one or more IoT devices.

Abstract: Described is a method and system for radio frequency (RF) signature generation and position estimation using the RD signature. A method includes receiving, by a server, a RF signature associated with a user device present in a connected environment, updating, by the server, stored RF signatures based on RF signatures received from the user device, monitoring stations, and active radio emitting devices in the connected environment when a defined threshold for one or more stored RF signatures is exceeded, where each stored RF signature corresponds to a subdivision in the connected environment, and estimating, by the server, a location of the user device in the connected environment by comparing the RF signature of the user device with the stored RF signatures or updated stored RF signatures.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a network appliance and associated access policy protocol (APP) that communicates and obeys access policies within a network. The network appliance (APP node) propagates access policies to other APP nodes that can utilize the policies most effectively. When an access policy reaches the network boundary, intra network bandwidth is optimized. The access policies may be distributed and executed in the cloud—e.g. proxy firewall, proxy policy execution.
